Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms and onions.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet with onions, then add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté with a pinch of salt, continuing to stir for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves to the mushrooms and onions. Stir for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and beef stock, stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to a bowl and keep warm.
Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Raise the heat to high in the same skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them until a rich brown crust forms.
Flip the steaks and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, tented loosely with aluminum foil.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately topped with the warm mushrooms and onions.
