1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 large yellow onions, sliced and separated into rings
2 large purple onions, sliced and separated into rings
2 bunches green onions,chopped
12 shallots, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cognac

Add butter to drippings, and cook over medium-high heat until melted. Add yellow and purple onions, and saute 5 minutes. Add green onions, shallots, and garlic, and saute 10 minutes.
Stir in cognac and broth. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until liquid evaporates (about 5 minutes). Place tenderloin on top.

Remove tenderloin from roasting pan, reserving onion mixture in pan. Cover tenderloin loosely, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Cook onion mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
