Peel the Vidalia onions and cut them into thin slices.
Peel and finely slice the shallots.
Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick slices (about 1/4-inch wide).
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until melted.
Add the sliced Vidalia onions and shallots to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter and oil.
Cook the onions and shallots for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown. Reduce heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Push the onions and shallots to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the cleared side.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown.
Mix the onions, shallots, and mushrooms together in the skillet. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme sprigs.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture is well combined.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the skillet mixture and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the vinegar to reduce slightly and coat the vegetables.
Remove the thyme sprigs and discard them.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite steak or protein.
