Recipe Notes
This is one of my favorite dishes and I thought for sure that I had already posted it to the web site. I have had a few versions and one of the first was by my friend Chef John Pearson. The caramelized onions work with many cuts of meat, including beef like hanger steak, flap meat or pork chops. You can also top meat from the grill with the onions.
The key is to control the heat so that it’s high enough to brown the onions without burning them. It takes some patience to cook them thoroughly but the wait is so worth it.
