Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Drop in the onions and boil 2 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
- Use a small, sharp knife to slice off the top of the onions, then slip off the skins. Trim any hairy roots, but leave the stem end intact so that the onions don't separate. If the onions are larger than 1 1/2-inches diameter, slice into halves or quarters.
- Heat the butter and oil in a medium (8-10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter stops foaming and begins to smell nutty, add the onions to the pan. Cook 5 minutes, or until the onions are browned, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle the onions with the sugar and salt. Pour the water and vinegar over them (the pan will sputter). Turn the heat down to medium and cover the pan. Cook 5 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and continue cooking until the liquid in the pan looks syrupy and has large bubbles, another 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with the thyme and serve.

Steps:
- Place onions, butter, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper in single layer in a large straight-sided saute pan; add 1 inch of water. Simmer over medium heat, covered, 1 hour; the onions should be soft. Uncover; add vinegar. Cook, turning occasionally, until liquid evaporates and onions caramelize, about 1 hour. Stir in thyme leaves. Set aside.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat meat with remaining salt and pepper. Place saute pan with ovenproof handle over high heat. Add olive oil; heat until almost smoking. Place beef in pan; sear until well browned on all sides. Transfer to oven; roast 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal temperature is 130 degrees for medium rare. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. Beef may be served warm or at room temperature. Slice just before serving. Place on platter with reserved cipollini onions; garnish with thyme sprigs.
