NOTES: To crack the peppercorns, whirl briefly in a spice or coffee grinder or crush with the flat side of a large knife or the flat bottom of a heavy glass. PREP AND COOK TIME: About 45 minutes.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sweet onions (1 1/2 lb. total), such as Walla Walla, Vidalia, or Maui, peeled and slivered lengthwise
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
4 boned tender beef steaks (each 1 to 1 1/2 in. thick and 9 to 12 oz.), such as top loin (New York strip) or rib eye
1/4 cup fresh-cracked multicolored peppercorns (see notes)

Instructions

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are limp, about 8 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with sugar. Increase heat to medium-high and stir often until onions begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme leaves; stir often until liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Rinse steaks and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt, then coat with pepper. Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat (divide among two pans if there's not enough room for steaks in one). Add steaks and cook until well browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks over and cook until beginning to brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer pan to a 375 ° oven and bake until medium-rare (still pink in the center; cut to test), 7 to 8 minutes, or until as done as you like (steaks will continue cooking for a few minutes after you take them out of the oven).
Transfer steaks to warm plates. Spoon onions over the top and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme leaves.
