Ingredients for Beer Butter And Onions

  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup beer (any light-colored beer will work)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Beer Butter And Onions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Pour in beer and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until onions are caramelized and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Add a pinch of sugar during cooking to enhance caramelization and balance acidity.
  5. Serve warm as a delightful side dish with your favorite BBQ meats.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
