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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions into even slices. Finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the caramelized onions and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the beef stock, followed by the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and luscious.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm over your favorite steak.
