1 Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth; bring to a simmer over medium heat until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Add lemon juice and capers; season with salt and pepper if desired.
2 Meanwhile, season both sides of beef steak liberally with kosher salt and pepper on both sides before cooking as desired in a large cast iron pan (or any other type of heavy-bottomed pan) over high heat for about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness – remove from pan when done cooking then set aside onto cutting board until ready for plating later on once all ingredients have been added together below:
