1

Stir together the softened butter, garlic, parsley, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Place the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, and roll it into a 4-inch log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice. Slice the compound butter into ¼-inch thick slices.

2

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Scrunch up a paper towel and dip it into the vegetable oil. Holding the paper towel with kitchen tongs, rub it over the grill grates.

3

Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches desired doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

4

Slice the steak into thin slices against the grain. Place slices of the compound butter on top. Serve immediately.
