A French bistro classic: juicy beef patties (steak haché) with slowly caramelised Lyon-style onions finished with vinegar and butter. Ready in 35 minutes, with chips.
Cook the onions in half the butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and deep golden; season with salt.
Shape the mince into 4 patties about 2 cm thick without overworking it, so they stay loose; season just before cooking.
Heat the oil in another pan over a high heat and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side (medium); take them out and keep warm.
Pour the vinegar and stock into the meat pan, scrape up the browned bits and boil for 2 minutes.
Add the onions and the remaining butter and toss together.
Pile the onions and sauce onto the patties, sprinkle with parsley and serve with chips or mashed potatoes.

Tips
Don't rush the onions: cooked slowly for 20-25 minutes they turn sweet and deep brown; over a high heat they go bitter.
Use slightly fatty mince (15-20 %); lean meat dries out.
