Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over steak.
Add oil to skillet.
(Oil should smoke.)
Turn steak on fatty edge in skillet, holding upright with tongs, and cook 2 minutes.
Place steak, uncooked side down, in skillet.
Cook on grill, covered with grill lid, 8 to 10 minutes or to desired degree of doneness.
Tilt skillet slightly, and spoon butter mixture over steak 20 times (being careful not to splatter).
Transfer steak, herbs, and garlic to a platter; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Slice against the grain.
