    Melt butter in a skillet.
    Add garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes.
    Add flour and stir. Let cook a minute to get rid of the raw taste.
    Whisk in the broth and wine and let it come to a boil.
    If the sauce is too thick, add more broth. If too thin for you, add a bit of flour.
    Squeeze in the lemon just before serving.
    Spoon sauce over steaks and enjoy.
    This is great with some baked potatoes and fresh green beans or asparagus.
