Place steaks on grill and cook until seared on one side, approximately 2 minutes. Flip and place a cheese slice on top of each steak, followed by evenly sprinkled dried or fresh thyme. Cook steak to desired doneness.

Remove from grill and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Serve with vegetables of your choice.
