Steak

Steak is a food item obtained from cows.

Cows
When a cow or mooshroom dies while on fire, it will drop one to three steak instead of raw beef. The Looting enchantment will increase the maximum number of steak drops by 1 per level.

Cooking
Raw beef can be cooked in a furnace, smoker, or campfire. Each steak removed from a furnace output slot gives 0.35 experience (22.4 experience per stack).

Trading
$$, butcher villagers may give players steak if they have the Hero of the Village status effect.

$$, journeyman-level butcher villagers sell 3 cooked beef for 1 emerald.

Food

Wolves
Steak can be used to breed and heal tamed wolves, lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.
