1 1/2 lb Flank steak (1 piece)

Salt & pepper, to taste

2 tb Unsalted butter

2 tb Unsalted butter, softened

2 tb Thinly slice scallions

1 c Dry red wine

Garlic puree(1 head roasted)



Sprinkle flank steak with salt and a generous amount of freshly ground

black pepper. Heat a wide heavy skillet. Do not add fat. When hot, cook

seasoned steak until seared and well browned on each side (about 1 minute

per side). Reduce heat and add 2 T butter. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on each

side. For best results, the meat should be quite rare. Remove the meat

from the pan and keep warm. Pour off the fat in the skillet and add the

scallions and red wine. Bring to a boil and whisk in the garlic puree.

Boil until the 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 unter the flank steak. Boil for 1 or 2

seconds more. Remove from the heat. Gently swirl in the 2 T soften butter

so that it incorporates into the wine. Quickly slice the meat, against the

grain, into thin strips. Arrange the slices on a hot platter, pour sauce

down the center of them and serve at once.
