Whiskey Butter Onions

Recipe #113146 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I made up these sauteed onions one night to top a beef and Swiss sandwich; they're perfect on burgers, steaks and the like and a little swished around in some fried potatoes doesn't hurt, either. Please use a good whiskey, something like Maker's Mark is excellent, and don't be afraid to add more whiskey if you like! Also, this recipe doesn't make a large quantity; the onions are best when eaten immediately.

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small skillet saute onions in the butter until slightly softened (but not too limp).
  2. 2
    Add thyme, then stir in the whiskey and Worcestershire Sauce.
  3. 3
    Increase heat to brown onions a bit and cook to the doneness you like (I like them to still be a little on the crisp side; that's also why I slice them on the thicker side).
  4. 4
    Serve immediately.

Fantastic! I used more onion and I sprinkled a tablespoon or two of sugar into the onions. I am not a drinker, so I just used a little tiny bottle of whiskey (like the kind on the airplane).

    This was a hit with my DH. I used a large sweet instead of a yellow onion. I loved the color of the red onion with the green of the thyme. I served it right on top of the steaks and it looked like a fancy dish! Thanks.

    I am eating these as I type and do you think saying that I love you is too forward? Seriously, these are WONDERFUL. I knew I'd be making this as soon as a I saw it. I too cut the slices thick to keep them a little crisp. I used Jack Daniel's and didn't change a thing. I will be making these again!

    I made these the other night & put them in fried potatoes & let me tell ya....AWSEOME!! I only used sweet onions because that is all I had & I put some garlic powder in the skillet when I sauted the onions. I will definately be using them again. I think I am going to put them in meatloaf. Thanks for the excellent post Angie!
