To prepare basting liquid, combine first 10 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; refrigerate in an airtight container overnight or up to 2 days.
Preheat charcoal grill to high heat. Set up an elevated grill rack 18 inches above surface of coals, using a second grill rack set atop 2 stacks of 2 bricks each. Tie herb sprig bunches tightly to the handle of a long wooden spoon.

Maintain grill at medium-high heat.
Carefully remove elevated grill rack and bricks. Place steaks on lower grill rack. Grill steaks for 6 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning and basting every minute. Singe herbs on herb brush for 5 seconds after final basting. Finely chop herbs; reserve.

Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steaks across grain into thin slices. Turn slices in board dressing to coat. Serve steaks with dressing.
