Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces medium sweet onions
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions into even slices. Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter and oil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the caramelized onions and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onion mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
Slowly pour in the beef stock, followed by the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and luscious.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm over your favorite steak.
