2. Drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread it out evenly.
3. Arrange the onion slices on the oiled pan, and then flip them over so that both sides are oiled.
4. Place the prepared heads of garlic sliced-side down among the onions.
5. In a cup, mix the balsamic vinegar with the beef broth.
