Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the butter and olive oil. Add the onions and salt. Cook until they become tender and have reduced in volume by half, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and currants. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions become jam-like and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. The jam will thicken as it cools. (The jam may be made up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 400°F) .

Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
Brush the cooking grates clean. Lightly brush one side of the baguette slices with oil and grill them over direct medium heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes (grill one side only). Allow to cool. Rub the grilled sides lightly with the garlic.
