Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring the Steaks to Room Temperature: Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before cooking.
  2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
  3. Slice the Onions: Thinly slice the onions for even cooking.
  4. Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 15-20 minutes until caramelized.
  5. Add Garlic and Thyme: Stir in the minced garlic and thyme for 1-2 minutes. If using, add balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
  6. Set the Onions Aside: Remove the onions from the skillet and keep warm.
  7. Heat the Skillet: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Heat until bubbling.
  8. Sear the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving.
  9. Flip the Steaks: Turn the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
  10. Baste the Steaks: Spoon melted butter and oil over the steaks during the last minute of cooking.
  11. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
  12. Rest the Steaks: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  13. Slice the Steaks: Cut the steaks against the grain into thick slices.
  14. Plate the Dish: Arrange the sliced steaks on a platter and top with caramelized onions.
  15. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  16. Serve: Enjoy with your favorite sides.
