Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vegan butter
2 cups Vidalia onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup shallot thinly sliced
1 cup vegan sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon steak sauce A1 is vegan!
1/4 + 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Into a large skillet over low heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions.
Saute the onions for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
Add the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions and shallots are darker brown in color.
Transfer the cooked onions and shallots to a cutting board. Roughly chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, steak sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Fold the onion mixture into the mayonnaise mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve cold.

Notes

Make-Ahead Instructions: This dip is best made a day ahead. The flavors continue to develop as it sits in the refrigerator, and the result after overnight chilling is noticeably better than after just one hour. Make it up to 3 days in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
