- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound beef tenderloin (filet mignon) or sirloin steak, 1 to 1 1/4-inch thick, trimmed and cut into 4 steaks
- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add onions and brown sugar and cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Add broth, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Transfer the onions to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
- Clean and dry the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides of each steak.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat.
