Ingredients

• 2 pieces rib eye steaks
• 3 medium yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 cup Gruyere cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the rib eye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until they are deeply caramelized.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and thyme to the caramelized onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the onions. Cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by adding the dry white wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the beef broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Sear the rib eye steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or further to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the steaks on an oven-safe dish, spoon the onion mixture on top of each steak, and sprinkle evenly with Gruyere cheese.

Step 8

Broil the steaks for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
