• Cover, and continue cooking, turning once, until steak is at desired doneness(5-10 mins).
• Meanwhile, remove butter mixture from refrigerator; let stand at least 15 minutes.
• To serve, cut butter into 6 slices; place 1 slice on center of each hot steak.
• Serve steaks with any remaining pan juices, if desired.
• TIP: To keep the butter in a tubular shape versus having one side flatten by resting on the refrigerator shelf, try this trick. Cut the tube from an empty roll of paper towels crosswise into a 4" length. Make one lengthwise cut in the tube. Place plastic wrapped butter log in cardboard tube and refrigerate.

Stir occasionally until the cheese melts, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary (the sauce probably won't need any salt). Keep warm while you grill the steaks.
