Directions
- 1
Prepare caramelized onions: Slice 2 large yellow onions thinly. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes until deeply golden brown and very tender.
- 2
Generously spread one side of each sourdough slice with softened butter.
- 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place two buttered bread slices, butter-side down, in the skillet.
- 4
Spread the unbuttered side of these slices with whole grain mustard.
- 5
Layer half of the roast beef, cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions onto each bread slice in the skillet.
- 6
Top with the remaining two bread slices, butter-side up. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 7
Once grilled, open each sandwich and layer in the sliced tomato, crisp lettuce, and dill pickles.
- 8
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of courage.
