Instructions:
- Begin by thinly slicing the onion.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 oz of butter.

- Coat each patty evenly with seasoned flour, ensuring a crispy exterior when cooked.
- In the same skillet used for the onions, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
- Carefully place the coated beef patties into the skillet, cooking them until golden brown on one side, approximately 7 minutes.
- Flip the patties and continue cooking until they are crispy and cooked to your desired level of doneness, another 7 minutes.
- Once the patties are cooked through and golden brown on both sides, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Arrange the caramelized onions over the beef patties, ensuring each one is generously topped with the savory onions.
- In the same skillet, pour in the beef stock, bringing it to a gentle boil.
- Season the beef stock with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve the beef patties with the rich, flavorful beef stock on the side, allowing your guests to drizzle it over their patties as desired.
