The sweetness of caramelized onions gives Rach's easy beef brisket tons of flavor. She also loves to use leftovers to make brisket ragu. 

For a complete holiday feast, Rach likes to serve this with her Zucchini-Potato Latkes with Za'atar + Butternut Latkes and Bitter Greens Salad.

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 large onions, chopped or quartered and thinly sliced
