Preparación

  1. Season and sear the roast

  2. Caramelize the onions

    • Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same pan without wiping it clean.
    • Add the onions and stir to coat in the butter.
    • Reduce the heat to low and cook slowly, without browning, until the onions are deep golden and translucent, stirring occasionally.

    • Add the garlic, then the flour, and turn the heat back to medium until the flour is golden.
    • Pour in the cognac and white wine and let them absorb, then add the beef broth slowly and season with salt and pepper.
