Ingredients
For the Soup Base:
2 tbsp Dan-O’s Outlaw Butter Steak
1 packet Dan-O’s Dips French Onion
2 tbsp Dan-O’s Original Seasoning
4 medium yellow onions, thick-sliced
¾ stick unsalted butter
2 tbsp light cooking oil
½ tbsp kosher salt
6 cups water
1 scoop beef paste or beef base
1 oz bourbon
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
For the Bread & Topping:
Dan-O’s Outlaw Butter Steak
Thick-cut bread (French or rustic loaf)
Olive oil (for drizzling)
Gruyère cheese, freshly grated

Preparation Instructions
-Start Caramelizing: Heat butter and oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the sliced onions, Dan-O’s Outlaw Butter Steak, and kosher salt. Stir and cook for 3–5 minutes to get everything hot and sweating.
-Slow Cook the Onions: Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions 2 hours, stirring every 10 minutes. Goal: deep golden-brown, jammy, sweet, and rich.
-Build the Soup: Once onions are deeply caramelized, add the Dan-O’s Dip French Onion and the water. Stir in beef paste/base. Add the Dan-O’s Original Seasoning and bourbon. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Simmer another 10–15 minutes
-Make the Bread: Take the sliced thick bread and lay it on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Dan-O’s Outlaw Butter Steak. Toast in a 400°F oven until crispy and golden for 10 minutes.
-Assemble & Broil: Fill oven-safe bowls ¾ full with soup. Add toasted bread pieces on top. Cover generously with grated Gruyère cheese. Broil until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden. Once the cheese is ready, serve with the toasted bread. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
