What is "steak"?
Steak is a cut of meat, typically beef, prized for its tenderness, flavor, and versatility in cooking. It is usually sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, resulting in a tender texture suitable for grilling, pan-searing, broiling, or other high-heat cooking methods. Steak cuts vary in size, thickness, and marbling. The quality of a steak often depends on factors such as the animal's breed, age, and diet, as well as the cooking technique used.
