For me, steak without butter, salt, pepper, garlic and thyme is a sad time.

Substitute ghee for butter and you've got one foot in heaven.
I love ghee, it’s like freebasing butter.
I love both. Ghee to fry the steak, butter to baste the steak towards the end. Heavenly
I totally forgot about ghee despite having a tub in the fridge, and using it last time I cooked a steak lol. Good shout. It adds a nice nutty flavour if I recall

But butter is only for finishing, to bring out the garlic and thyme flavours. I cook it with a bit of oil if I finish with butter

Nothing wrong with those. But if you buy great meat you can grill a steak with absolutely nothing on it and it comes out fantastic.
