Steak

Steak (also known as Cooked Beef) is a food item dropped by cows and mooshrooms set alight or obtained by cooking Raw Beef in a furnace. Each Steak restores 4 units to the Food Bar and 12.8 hunger saturation.

Cooking
Alternatively, the player can use a flint and steel to set cows on fire to collect ready-cooked Steak or watch for Steaks 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 food units and saturation than other cooked meats (fish or chicken).
 * In fact, Steak restores more units and saturation than other food items save for Cake, Mushroom Stew, and the Golden Apple - while requiring much less time and resources to create.
 * More Steak can be acquired per cow than Cooked Porkchop acquired per pig, and cows also produce leather.

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 in some cases, depending on the biome the player spawns in.

Trivia

 * The steak's texture used to be the texture of a Cooked Porkchop, until 1.8 when it was changed to a lighter icon.

History
Steak was introduced in the Beta 1.8 update as the cooked result of Raw Beef, a new food item dropped by cows in addition to their leather. The icon for Steak was used as the image for the Cooked Porkchop before Beta 1.8 (the cooked porkchop's icon was updated to a lighter colored piece of meat).
