Ingredients:
– 2 ribeye steaks, approximately 1 inch thick
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the steaks in the skillet. Sear each side for 4-5 minutes for a medium-rare finish, or cook to your desired level of doneness.
3. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest, allowing the juices to redistribute.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter.
5. Add the sliced onions, garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are richly caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Serve the steaks with a generous topping of caramelized onions, and enjoy every bite.
