Yield
Serves: 8
Preparation
To make the onion sauce, heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until caramelized and brown. Add tomato paste, stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze with beer, add vinegar and brown sugar and bring to a bubble.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir the slurry into the bubbling beer/onion sauce. Once thickened, about 1-2 minutes, remove from heat.
To build hot dogs, place cooked dogs in buns, top with onion sauce, sauerkraut, ketchup and/or mustard.
