Beef Tenderloin with Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 2 steaks (6 oz each) beef tenderloin steaks
• 2 large, thinly sliced yellow onions
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 2 beef tenderloin steaks dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the steaks and sear until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and rest.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Add the 2 sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deep golden, about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in the 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Return the steaks and any juices to the skillet. Spoon the onions and sauce over the top and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Serve hot.
