1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Two 1 1/4-inch-thick boneless rib-eye steaks
1 baguette, split, then quartered crosswise
4 slices havarti cheese

1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare; remove and tent with foil.
