Heat the Butter and Oil in a Saut Pan on Medium-Low Heat. Add the Onions, Sugar, Salt, and Pepper, and Cook For 30 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally. You May Have to Turn Your Heat Down to Low If You Find Them Caramelizing Too Quickly. You Want Them Very Soft, but not Burnt. You Can Also Use the Alton Brown Method: Put Them in an Electric Skillet Set to 300f, Cover and Leave Undisturbed For 10 Minutes, Then Start Stirring Every Few Minutes. |

After 30 Minutes, Add the Cognac. Do not Pour the Cognac Directly Into the Pan from the Bottle If There Is a Live Flame; the Flame Could Travel Up the Pour-Stream and Into the Bottle, Causing It to Explode. Measure the Cognac in a Liquid Measuring Cup, Then Move the Pan Off the Heat, Pour in the Cognac, and Return the Pan to the Stove. Let the Cognac Reduce For 1 Minute. Add the Wine, Beef Stock, Bay Leaf and Thyme. Season Again With Salt and Pepper. Simmer on Low For Another 30 Minutes. |
