Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter
  • 2 yellow onions peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (230 grams) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the onions to the pan.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 30-45 minutes. Adjust heat between medium and low as needed to caramelize the onions without burning.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Add the beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and chives.
  • Once the onions are cool to touch, fold them into the sour cream mixture.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight.
  • Serve with vegetables, chips, and/or crackers.
