Savoury Herbed Steak

This could well become your favourite way to sear up a sizzling steak.

1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
1 teaspoon dried snipped chives
4 cloves garlic, minced

Trim fat from steaks. Combine basil, tarragon, chives, and garlic. Rub herb mixture on both sides of steaks, pressing into surface.

Place steaks in centre of cooking grate. Grill 6 to 7 minutes for rare, 7 to 9 minutes for medium, or 9 to 11 minutes for well-done, turning once halfway through grilling time.
