Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Peel and slice the onions into half-inch thick rings. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, lower the heat to medium, add the butter, rosemary sprigs, and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them for additional flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
In the same skillet, add the onion slices and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and softened.
Optionally, add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavor.
Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve with the caramelized onions on top or on the side. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
