Filet Mignon with Caramelized Onions

Total time: 35 minutes
     With a lovely piece of flavorful, tender filet mignon this is truly marvelous main course. But the savory-sweet onions will make even a lesser cut shine.

 Ingredients:

• 2 filet mignon steaks (tournedos), 6oz (180gr) each  or other cut of choice
• 1 large or 2 medium onions
• 2 tsp butter
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

 Instructions:

• Mix Worcestershire sauce, oil and brush on steaks.  Set aside. 
• Cut onion in half then into 1/4 inch (.65cm) think slices. 
• Heat butter, oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. 
• Add onions and sauté until browned, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes.  You may have to turn the heat down to low after about 15 minutes. 
• When onions are nicely browned add sugar, mustard, Worcestershire, and stir until well blended and sugar is melted.  Set aside and keep warm.  
• Cook steaks on barbecue grill until done to your liking.... about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.  It depends on thickness of cut, heat of grill, etc.  Check out this site for the 'thumb test'.
• Divide caramelized onions and place on 2 plates.  Put steak on top and serve. 

Note:   Could be done under the broiler (grill) or quickly pan fried over high heat for about the same time.
