Ingredients
- 24 ounces yellow onions (2 large or jumbo onions, thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (white or brown)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth (divided)
- 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- Salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat butter in a large sauté pan. Add onions and sugar and cook over medium-high heat, until onions start to brown, stirring occasionally. When onions are slightly softened and turning a deep honey brown, add 1/4 cup broth. Reduce heat, cover and continue cooking, adding more broth as needed to prevent caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan from burning. It should take at least 25 to 30 minutes to properly caramelize onions.

Step 2: Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Stir in remaining beef broth and tomato paste. Stir in cider vinegar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
