Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided, plus more, to taste
1 small onion thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup dark beer
2 ounces deli-sliced corned beef cut into strips
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 1/2 cups Jarlsberg cheese grated
4 slices marble rye bread
1/2 cup sauerkraut drained and rinsed

Directions

Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, the sugar, the salt, and the pepper to the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
Add the beer to the butter mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the liquid is slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
Transfer the skillet from the heat and stir in the corned beef, the Worcestershire sauce, and the mustard.
Divide 1/2 of the cheese between 2 of the bread slices.
Top the cheese with the corned beef mixture, the remaining cheese, and the sauerkraut.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.
Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sandwiches to the butter and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side. Add more of the butter to the pan if needed.
Serve.
