Step-By-Step Instructions:

  5. Add the water, thyme, and brown sugar, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the onions are very soft.

I didn't have strip steak, so I made this with elk tenderloins and added a few mushrooms. Excellent flavor! Will definitely make again.

Yum just yum!
The only thing I should have done was trim the steaks a bit better. Other than that excellent meal!
