Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 221kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large Onions, yellow or red peeled, halved and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp Lakanto Gold Monk Fruit Sweetener or other low carb "brown" sweetener
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 5 Tbsp Dry sherry
- 4 cups Beef stock
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp Dried thyme leaves or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 Bay leaf
Topping
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
- 10 Parmesan crisps
Instructions
- Select the saute setting on your Instant Pot. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
- Add butter to Instant Pot. Once it has melted (about 2 minutes), add onions, sweetener and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon, ensuring onions are coated. Cover the pot with a glass lid and let the onions cook, without stirring, for 10 minutes.
- Uncover the pot. The onions should be softened, but not brown. Stir the onions. Continue to stir every 2 minutes, loosening any brown bits from the bottom of the pot with the spoon until the timer runs out.
- Carefully add dry sherry to the pot. Scrape any remaining bits from the bottom of the pot with the spoon. Stir in the stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaf and pepper. Add the Instant Pot lid and turn to it's sealing position. Select the manual setting and set the timer for 5 minutes at high pressure (the pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure before the cooking program begins).
- Once the cooking program ends, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then move the pressure release to "venting" to release any remaining steam. Discard the bay leaf. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and/or pepper as desired.
- Ladle into bowls. Top with Parmesan crisps and Gruyere cheese. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly (optional).
