    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons butter softened
    2 tablespoons scallions thinly sliced
    1 cup dry red wine
    1 head roasted garlic

    Sprinkle flank steak with salt and pepper.
    Heat a large heavy skillet.
    Do not add butter or other fat.
    When hot cook seasoned steak until seared and well browned on each side.
    Reduce heat and add 2 tablespoons butter.
    Cook 5 minutes on each side.
    Remove meat from pan and keep warm.
    Pour off any fat in the skillet and add scallions and red wine.
    Bring to a boil and whisk in the garlic
    Boil until wine is reduced by half, thickened and syrupy.
    As it boils scrape up the browned bits in the skillet with a wooden spoon.
    Stir in the meat juices that have accumulated under the flank steak.
    Boil for a few seconds more then remove from heat.
    Gently swirl in 2 tablespoons softened butter so that it incorporates into the wine. Quickly slice the meat against the grain into thin strips.
    Arrange slices on a hot platter then pour sauce down center and serve at once.
