Ingredients

  • 2 large white onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 12 ounces lager (nothing fancy here)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons mustard (I used a grainy dijon)

Instructions

  • Set your largest pan (cast iron best) over high heat. As it heats, slice your onions as thinly as you can (using a mandolin wise here). Once sliced, add the butter to the pan to melt.
  • Once butter is melted, add in the onions and let sit untouched for 4 minutes. Then, add in a few ounces of beer, and stir (get those burnt bits off of the bottom of the pan).
  • Repeat this process a total of 5 times or for 20 minutes. Doesn't have to be exact, but the goal is to not have much liquid left in the pan at the end.
  • Once the beer is reduced and the onions browned, lower the heat and add the salt/garlic/pepper. Then, turn off the heat and stir in the mustard. Serve right away or chill for 2-3 days (not that they will last that long).
