Steak

Steak (also known as cooked beef) is a food item dropped by cows and mooshrooms when killed by fire or obtained by cooking raw beef in an oven. Each steak restores 4 units to the food bar and 12.8 hunger saturation.

Smelting
Alternatively, the player can use a flint and steel to set cows on fire to collect ready-cooked steak, or use a suitably enchanted sword or bow. More rarely, they may be found dropped in the wake of a forest fire or nearby surface lava pools.

Advantages

 * Given a decent stock of raw beef, steak can be produced as needed using a furnace and sticks in a matter of seconds.
 * Steak restores more units and saturation than all other food save for cooked porkchop which has equal values, and cake which restores more hunger but provides significantly less saturation.
 * It can obtained easily when the mooshroom/cow dies of fire. This is easily achieved with a sword or bow with a fire enchantment.

Disadvantages

 * As with raw beef, steak's availability is dependent on the presence of cows or mooshrooms within sight, which can be random at best and require extensive traveling depending on the biome the player spawns in. Once at least two cows have been found, however, they can be bred for an easy and infinite supply of beef and steak.
