Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless ribeye steaks
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme with the caramelized onions, cooking for another 2 minutes. Transfer the onions to a plate and keep warm.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat.
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks topped with the caramelized onions.
