Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cut leftover bread into crouton-sized pieces, starting by slicing the loaf in half down the middle.

Lay the flat side of the bread down on the cutting board to prevent rolling.

Use a sharp knife for easier cutting, preferably with day-old bread to avoid softness.

In a bowl, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the croutons, along with a couple twists of salt and black pepper, and a little garlic powder.

Toss the croutons evenly to coat them with the oil and seasonings.

Transfer the croutons to a baking dish and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes until golden brown.

Prepare the steak by seasoning it with cracked pepper, salt, and dry Italian herbs.

Place the seasoned steak into an airtight bag with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fresh chopped garlic to marinate.

Let the steak marinate for a few hours or overnight, omitting salt if marinating overnight to retain moisture.

After marinating, cook the steak as desired, noting that the croutons should be warm and golden brown when served.
