Beef Neck Bones Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Beer Sauce
Humble beef neck bones braised to fall off the bone tender perfection then assembled into a sandwich with caramelized onions and a homemade beer sauce.
Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Heat the pan on medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the onion slices and stir to coat the onions with the oil. Spread the onions out evenly over the pan and let cook, stirring occasionally.
Depending on how strong your stovetop burner is you may need to reduce the heat to medium low to prevent the onions from burning or drying out.
After 10 minutes, sprinkle some salt over the onions, and if you want, you can add some sugar to help with the caramelization process. If they start to dry, add a little water and stir.
Let cook for 30 minutes to an hour more, stirring every few minutes. As soon as the onions start sticking to the pan, let them stick a little and brown, but then stir them before they burn.

Notes
Sear the neck bones first as you would any other braised meat recipe
Use a braising liquid that is somewhat acidic and make sure you have adequate liquid to submerge the neck bones
Make sure your pot has a heavy lid. If it doesn't, then top the pot with parchment paper first and then cover with lid during cooking
Cook them low and slow (275-325 degrees in the oven)
