Peel and slice 2 lbs of onions thinly using a food processor or knife.

Melt 2 oz of non-salted butter in a heavy cast iron pan over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions to the melted butter and stir until all onions are coated.

Lower the heat to almost the lowest setting and stir occasionally for 25-30 minutes until onions are translucent and golden brown.

Add 4-5 crushed garlic cloves to the onions and stir.

Sprinkle in 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until no white powder is visible, stirring for about 3-5 minutes.

Pour in about 1 cup of dry vermouth and mix well.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the beef stock, stirring continuously.

Tie fresh thyme and the bay leaf together for easy removal later, then add to the pot.

Lower the heat and cover, setting a timer for 30 minutes to let it simmer.
