BRAISED WHISKEY ONIONS



Braised Whiskey Onions image

Adapted from Morey Amsterdam's Benny Cooker Crock Book. Although the title comes from a joke from Amsterdam's night club act, the recipes are all genuine. This dish goes well with lamb, beef or chicken. I prefer a bit less salt and a bit more pepper.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Whiskey Butter:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 shallots minced, soaked in 1 shot of Jack Daniels or other whiskey or bourbon
3 teaspoons minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 teaspoons Jack Daniels or other whiskey
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
White pepper to taste
Steaks:
4 cowboy steaks, bone-in rib eye steaks, or other favorite steak, about 1-inch thick
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, coarsely ground
Olive oil
Chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Grilling Method: Combo/Medium-High
  • Make Whiskey Butter:
  • Make Butter at least 3 hours in advance. Combine butter, shallots soaked in Jack Daniels (or other bourbon or whiskey), parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of plastic wrap, drop butter in spoonfuls to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to slice into round, coin-shaped pieces.
  • Prepare Steaks:
  • Allow meat to come to room temperature about 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Just before grilling, brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to get good grill marks. Turn steaks and sear the other side. Move steaks to indirect heat and continue cooking for about 7 more minutes for medium rare.
  • Remove steaks from the grill, top with a pat of the whiskey butter and allow to rest at least 5 minutes but no longer than 10 before serving.
  • Spread the melted butter all over the tops of the steaks and top each with a fresh slice of the whiskey butter and parsley, if desired.

WHISKEY BUTTER ONIONS



Whiskey Butter Onions image

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.

Categories     Onions

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 yellow onion, thickly sliced
3 slices red onions
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons good-quality whiskey
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In a small skillet saute onions in the butter until slightly softened (but not too limp).
  • Add thyme, then stir in the whiskey and Worcestershire Sauce.
  • 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).
  • Serve immediately.

OLD FASHIONED BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY



Old Fashioned Burger Recipe by Tasty image

This old fashioned-inspired burger features whiskey-caramelized onions, roasted orange mustard, and two smashburger patties. Top with fresh beefsteak tomatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce on toasted burger buns.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into half moons
⅓ cup rye whiskey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large navel oranges
¼ cup dijon mustard
¼ cup yellow mustard
1 teaspoon orange bitters
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slices american cheese
4 burger buns
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sesame seed
1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
8 slices beefsteak tomatoes
old fashioned

Steps:

  • Make the whiskey-caramelized onions: In a large, high-walled skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize and turn golden brown, about 45 minutes. Add the whiskey and salt and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit until ready to use.
  • Make the roasted orange mustard: Turn the broiler on high.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the peel from the orange, then slice the orange crosswise into ½-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Broil the orange slices until they begin to brown and crisp on the top, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the oranges from the oven and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly. Use a potato masher to mash the juice from the oranges, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the flesh to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about ¼ cup of roasted orange juice.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and bitters until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the smash burgers: Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Divide the ground beef into 8 4-ounce portions, being careful not to work the meat too much.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and coriander.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Pour the olive oil into the hot pan. Place 2 portions of ground beef, or as many as will fit without overcrowding, in the pan and use a flat metal spatula to flatten into patties. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press the spatula more firmly to flatten each patty even more. Season each patty generously with the salt mixture. Once the patties turn golden brown on the bottoms and the edges are crispy, about 2 minutes, flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Top each patty with 1 slice of American cheese and let melt, about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ground beef.
  • Assemble the burgers: Place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with beaten egg, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Open the buns and place ¼ cup of shredded lettuce on each bottom bun, followed by 2 tomato slices, a patty, ¼ cup caramelized onions, and a second patty. Spread 2 tablespoons of the orange mustard over the undersides of the top buns, then place on top of the burgers. Serve with old fashioneds.
  • Enjoy!

BOURBON ONION SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Bourbon Onion Soup Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-16791

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Lbs Onions (Red and Yellow), sliced and then quartered. This is roughly 2 large red onions and 2 large yellow onions.
1-1/2 sticks real butter
2 cloves minced garlic or 1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup Bourbon Whiskey
1 qt of Beef Broth (1 qt water, 2 TBL beef base)
1 tsp salt
Croutons
Sliced Cheese - Gruyere, Mozzarella, or Provolone
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

  • In a soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized (about an hour). Watch the heat. Too hot and the onions will burn. When done, add the garlic and mix well. Lower the heat to low and add the whiskey. Let the alcohol burn off for a minute or so. Then add the beef broth and salt. Cover and simmer until ready to serve. When ready to serve, get the soup nice and hot. Have broiler hot. Put soup in bowl and then float croutons on top and quickly add sliced cheese and then cover with Parmesan Cheese. Put under the broiler right away. You don't want the bread getting really soggy and sinking down through the soup. Broil for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese!!!!!!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for this recipe, as they have a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the whiskey and butter.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize quickly and evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep golden brown color.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many onions to the skillet, they will not caramelize properly.
  • Stir the onions occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the skillet and burning.
  • Add the whiskey and butter: Once the onions are caramelized, add the whiskey and butter. The whiskey will deglaze the pan and add a touch of smokiness, while the butter will add richness and flavor.
  • Simmer the onions until the whiskey has reduced: This will help to mellow out the alcohol and create a more complex flavor.
  • Season the onions to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, or other seasonings of your choice.
  • Serve the onions immediately: Whiskey butter onions are best served hot, as a side dish or topping for burgers, steaks, or other grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Whiskey butter onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, savory, or smoky, whiskey butter onions are sure to please everyone at your table.
