Step 1

Add the garlic and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; wipe out the skillet. Add the radishes, tomatoes, basil, capers and caper brine to the bowl and toss to combine.

Heat 1 Tbl. olive oil in the same skillet over medium high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the pan an sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn an sear until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

Add the arugula and the remaining 2 Tbl. olive oil to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Serve with the salad.
