Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to high. Brush flank steak on both sides with soy sauce. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. (Go easy on the salt because the soy sauce is salty.) Let stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Brush again with the soy sauce and grill over a brisk fire about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place on a carving board, tent with foil and let rest while making the sauce.

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots or green onions and sauté just until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme then the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter, salt and pepper. Stir until the butter is melted. Add the chopped parsley. Remove from heat.

To serve, carve the steak in thin slices across the grain. Spoon some sauce over the sliced steaks.
