Instructions: About 24 ounces of skirt steak, cut into 4 portions

Prepare gas or charcoal grill; fire should be so hot, you can hold your hand over it for only a couple of seconds.

Meanwhile, cream butter with fork, adding thyme, chives, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and vinegar or lemon juice.

Grill steak, 2 minutes a side for rare, about a minute longer per side for medium-rare. As it cooks, season with salt and pepper.

Spread each steak with about a tablespoon of the flavored butter, and serve. Remaining butter can be wrapped and refrigerated or frozen.
