### **2. Make the French Onion Au Jus**
– In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sugar, stirring often.
– Cook slowly for 20–30 minutes until golden and caramelized.
– Add wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits.
– Stir in beef broth, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly reduced.

### **3. Serve Like a Pro**
– Slice the tenderloin into medallions.
– Spoon warm French onion au jus over the top.
– Garnish with extra herbs or crispy fried onions if you’re feeling fancy.
