Preparation
- Make the marmalade: Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt and stir to coat. Lower heat to medium. Stir in wine, vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 minutes until thickened and dark. You might want to stay by stove, stirring almost constantly, for last 5 minutes cooking time to make sure marmalade doesn’t burn. Remove from heat. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
- About 5 minutes before marmalade is done, cook steaks to desired degree of doneness over grill or in cast-iron skillet. When done, let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. NOTE: Feel free to prepare onion marmalade up to 1 week in advance; keep refrigerated in airtight container; bring to room temperature when ready to use.
- When ready to serve, slice baguettes lengthwise. Top each sandwich with 3 ounces sliced steak, 3 generous tablespoons onion marmalade and ¾-ounce sliced brie. Return to grill, if used, to heat (or oven for quick melt). Serve warm.
