What is Onion Loaf?

Onion loaf comes served in Miller and Carter's Steakhouse restaurants in the UK, as part of their steak experience.

Of course, they have a well-kept secret recipe to make this delicious steak side dish of fried onions shaped into a small loaf.

You will also find something similar served in America at Tony Roma's or Hackney's Restaurants.

Onions are chopped, fried and battered before being shaped into a small loaf shape, then deep-fried until crispy.

Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make this steak side dish are as follows

Onions

One large onion is enough to serve two people; for best results use a sweet Spanish onion. Chop the onion into rough chunks.

• 

• 

• 

Oil

Fry the chopped onion in oil for about 6 minutes to soften the onion. Add some flour once softened to dry the onions out before battering.

You will need more oil for deep-fat frying, we use rapeseed oil (known as canola oil in the US), but you can use sunflower oil or beef dripping instead.

Batter

Mix the following ingredients together to make a batter for the onion loaf.

• Milk
• White Sugar
• Flour
• Garlic Salt
• Black Pepper

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Add the onions to create a sticky mix.

• 

• 

Transfer onto a floured plate and shape into two mini loaves.

Deep Fat Fryer

For best results, use a deep fat fryer set to 180°C / 350°F. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, this should take about 5 minutes.

Deep Pan Fry

If you don't own a deep fat fryer, use a deep pan. Pour enough oil into your pan to submerge the onion loaf into and set over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C / 350°F

If you don't have a thermometer, stick a wooden spoon into the oil—if bubbles form around it, you're ready to go.

Cook one loaf at a time for a crispy coating. Place carefully in hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, ours took 5 minutes.

• 

Check cooked through and place on kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

Serve onion loaf with steak and chips, like Miller and Carter Steakhouse restaurants. As seen here, we have cooked ours with rump steak, air fryer chips and peppercorn sauce.

It is also great served on the side with sausage and mash, chicken wings or our spicy chicken burger.

You can serve it as an alternative to onion rings for a starter with a bbq dipping sauce.

Onion Loaf

Fried onion loaves are a variation on the classic fried onion rings, and they're easily one of our favourite dishes on the Miller and Carter menu.

We'll show you how to make onion loaf at home, which is the ideal side dish for steak and chips and great for date night or Valentine's day.

They only take 15 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking time, so they'll be ready in just 30 minutes.

We hope you enjoyed this onion loaf recipe as much as we do!

Can onion loaf be oven baked instead?

We have tried oven baking these instead, and they are not the same they don't get crispy so you end up with a soggy and limp loaf and it takes a lot longer to cook too!
