Caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness to this elegant appetizer. Use the higher range of pepper if you like a little more zip. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided

Awesome! I decided to make it on what you call a raclette grill from Switzerland instead of the oven! Scrumptious! If you can find raclette cheese, put that on top of this and melt it! Excellent!

Made this for my family's Christmas and it was a huge hit. I agree with the previous reviewer, the only downside is the cost of the meat although it was deliciously tender and complimented the dish well. The only thing I changed was adding a little bit more garlic to the rub on the beef.

This is the first time I've made caramelized onions and they, along with the tenderloin turned out fabulous! I made this last night for a superbowl party and all of it was gobbled up in just minutes. I made the onions up ahead of time and just warmed them up in the microwave when needed. The only negative is that filet is pricey, but I thought it was worth it.
