1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Peel the golden beetroot, cut into chunky wedges and put into a large roasting tin with the red onion wedges. Dot with the butter, sprinkle over the sugar and pour over the hot stock. Scatter with the thyme leaves and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook in the oven for about 35 minutes, turning halfway, until the beetroot is just tender. Stir in the balsamic syrup or glaze and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the juices have reduced and become quite sticky.
2. About 15 minutes before the beetroot is ready, place a large griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Brush the steaks all over with a little olive oil, then season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook for 2-4 minutes each side, for rare to medium. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
3. Divide the steaks between 4 warm serving plates and spoon the caramelised beetroot and red onion alongside.
