steak
Thick meat cut
Steak is a thick slice of meat or fish, typically cut across the muscle fibers and cooked by grilling, broiling, or frying.
Without qualification, steak usually means beef: Let's throw some steaks on the grill.
Other meats are specified: tuna steak, pork steak.
A steak can also be a thick slice of a large vegetable: cauliflower steak.
The quality and cut matter—ribeye, filet mignon, sirloin—and ordering one rare, medium, or well-done indicates doneness.
