Ingredients
- 2 12-ounce cuts ribeye steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Meanwhile, peel the large onion and cut it into thin slices.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become a deep golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. If they start to burn, reduce the heat slightly.
Step 5
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Step 7
Rub the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 8
Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
Step 9
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes, which allows the juices to redistribute before serving.
Step 10
Top the grilled steaks with the caramelized onions and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low carb meal.
