We made this using a ribeye. My husband wasn't convinced that putting the herbs on at the end, but he LOVED it. He turned the leftovers into brunch the next day -- tossed briefly with warmed black beans over soft corn tortillas, topped with a fried egg. Fabulous!

- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Preparation
- 1. Prepare grill.
- 2. Lightly coat beef with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place beef on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Reduce heat to medium.
