Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 heads iceberg lettuce, quartered into wedges
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, cut in half lengthwise and crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper

This salad is a great way to use up leftover steak. I grilled some flank steak and sliced it thin to add to the salad. It was delicious!
