Grilled Steak With Lemon-Thyme Butter

For Lemon-Thyme Butter: Place all the lemon-thyme butter ingredients in the bowl of a blender or spice grinder, and process them into a smooth paste. Set the mixture aside.

At cooking time, heat a grill until very hot. Meanwhile, rub the steaks with the olive oil, and sprinkle them on both sides with the salt and pepper.

Place the steaks on the rack of a very hot grill, and cook them for about 1 minute on one side, then turn them over and cook them 1 1/2 minutes on the other side.

Turn the steaks over again, and place them back on the rack at a 90-degree angle from their original grilling position to create a lattice of marks from the grill rack.

Cook the steaks for 1 minute longer on the hot grill, for a total of about 3 1/2 minutes for a medium-rare result. Serve immediately with lemon-thyme butter.
