Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

1

Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and sprinkle with the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
3

Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
4

Add the beer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the liquid is slightly syrupy, about 8 more minutes.
5

Remove from the heat and stir in the corned beef, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
6

Divide half of the cheese between 2 bread slices; top with the corned beef mixture, and the remaining cheese and 2 bread slices.

Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
