method
Melt the butter (and oil if using) in a wide pan over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and lightly golden.
Pour in the beer and let it bubble gently for 5 minutes, scraping the pan to lift all the flavour.
Add the beef stock, lower the heat, and simmer slowly for 20–30 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the onions are rich, dark, and glossy.
Season with black pepper (and sugar if needed). Finish with thyme if using.
