Cut
head of garlic in half, place on a square of foil, and drizzle
with olive oil. Wrap. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 45
minutes. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves out of skins, and mash into
a puree. Set aside.

Sprinkle
steak with salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium high heat, but do not add
fat. When hot, cook seasoned steak until seared and well browned
on both sides, about a minute per side. Reduce heat to medium, and
add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Continue to cook for 3 to 5
minutes on each side. Remove meat, 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, and is thick and syrupy. As it boils,
scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the meat
juices that have accumulated under the steak. Boil for another
second or so. Remove from the heat, and stir in the remaining 2
tablespoons of butter until it is incorporated into the wine
sauce.

Quickly
slice the meat against the grain, into thin strips. Arrange on a
hot platter, and pour the sauce down the center of the slices.
Serve at once.
