Put the Dairy Butter in a piece of plastic wrap and roll it. Put it in a refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Make the fried onions:
In a medium bowl, put the onions and pour buttermilk over them. Let it rest at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Put a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, pepper, paprika. Put the onions into the flour mixture, roll them and shake off extra flour.
Put a large saucepan with high sides on medium-high heat and fill it with canola oil. When it becomes hot, add the onions and fry them for 3 minutes until they become golden. Remove the onions from the saucepan and put them on a wire rack then season with a little salt; set aside.
Make the steak:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper completely.
Place a large cast-iron pan over high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil becomes hot, add the steaks and cook for about 7 minutes until a brown crust forms. Flip the steaks and let it cook for 7 minutes again, until the steak is browned on both sides. Add thyme and the prepared butter to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and sauté the steaks with the melted butter for 2 or 3 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (135°F) for medium-rare.
