Brush steaks with the olive oil. For rub, in a small bowl combine herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of each steak; rub in with your fingers. If desired, cover and chill steaks for up to 24 hours. For a charcoal grill, grill steaks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. Allow 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare (145°F) and 12 to 15 minutes for medium (160°F). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steaks on the grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Let steaks stand for 5 minutes. Serve steaks with Avocado Butter. Avocado Butter Halve, seed, peel, and chop avocado. In a medium bowl combine the chopped avocado, butter, lime juice, chervil, tarragon, salt, and, if desired, cayenne pepper. Using a fork, gently mash the ingredients together until thoroughly combined (if desired, leave mixture somewhat chunky). Chill until almost firm.
