Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
While the steak rests, slice the onions into thin rings.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and stir to coat the onions.
Cook the onions on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until they become a deep golden brown color.
When the onions are caramelized, add the balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme to the skillet, stir well, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to high heat.
Rub each steak with the remaining olive oil, then season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve each steak topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions.
