Instructions
To prepare the onion rings, combine the flour and Man Grind or chipotle and lime salt (I personally prefer the chipotle and lime salt) in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a deep pot.
Line a baking rack with a few layers of paper towels.
Slice the onion into rings at least 5mm thick and dip into the flour mixture, pop aside on a large plate.
Mix the egg and milk into the remaining flour mixture until it forms a smooth batter.
Dip the floured onion rings into the batter one at a time and gently place into the oil with tongs.
Once the onion ring starts turning golden, gently turn with tongs.
Cook the rings in small batches about 6-8 rings at a time, being careful not to over crowd the pot.
They will be ready once floating on the surface and nice and golden in colour on both sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon draining off excess oil and place on the paper towel lined rack.
Sprinkle with extra chipotle and lime salt.
Mix the aioli and man rub together in a small bowl.
Preheat the oven on grill at 200 degrees.
Cut the buns in half and place the cut side up on a baking tray, spread with herby mustard butter and place a slice of cheese on each base bun half.
Grill until golden and the cheese has melted.
Slice the steak into strips and pan fry quickly on each side in a little herby mustard butter.
Layer the steak, onion rings and lettuce onto the cheese.
Generously spread the man rub aioli onto the other bun half and sandwich together.

Serve with fries and man rub aioli.
