Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound yellow onion thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions are very soft, and deep golden-brown, 25 to 30 minutes. If the onions begin to burn turn down the heat and stir more often.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef broth, scrape up any brown bits. Bring the broth to a boil and simmer until it is reduced by half. Remove from heat, remove the thyme sprigs, and stir in the balsamic.
Notes
- If the onions begin to dry out, you can add 2 tablespoons of water.
- Store leftover onions in airtight container for up to 4 days.
