    2. 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
    3. 1 tsp garlic powder
    4. ½ tsp salt
    5. ½ tsp black pepper
    6. ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
    7. ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
    8. 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

For Serving (Optional):

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak cubes in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
