Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Season the ribeye steaks generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Preheat your grill to high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and beef stock. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, letting the liquid reduce and the onions caramelize. Set aside once done.
Brush the steaks lightly with the remaining olive oil. Place them on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until you've reached your desired doneness.
In the last minute of grilling, top each steak with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and heighten the flavor.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.
To serve, place one steak on each plate and top with the caramelized onions.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and enjoy your grilled steak with caramelized onions.
