Steak- I used top sirloin steak, but you can use any good steak, such as tri-tip steak, ribeye steak, or a New York strip steak. It’s your preference.
Worcestershire Sauce- This is where all the flavor comes in. You want to try to let your garlic steak bites marinate in that sauce.
Seasoning- Garlic Powder, black pepper, thyme, and Montreal steak seasoning.
Minced Garlic- This easy meal would not be the same without the garlic. This, along with the Worcestershire sauce, complements things well.
Butter- Salted or unsalted is just fine.
