Recipe
In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Brown meat, in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes per side; remove from pan, and set aside.
In the same Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring frequently for 15-20 minutes, or until onions are tender. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions are caramel colored. Stir in garlic and flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add meat, consomme, broth, Worchestershire, bay leaves, and thyme. Simmer, stirring occasionally, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Preheat broiler. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
Spoon meat mixture into prepared baking dish. Place toasted French bread slices evenly over meat. Sprinkly with cheese. Broil, 5 inches from heat, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
