Deutsch: Steak
A steak ("roast") is generally a cut of beef sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, or of fish cut perpendicular to the spine. Meat steaks are usually grilled, pan-fried, or broiled, while fish steaks may also be baked. Steak can also be meat cooked in sauce, such as steak and kidney pie, or minced meat formed into a steak shape, such as Salisbury steak and hamburger steak.

In the food context, "steak" refers to a slice of meat that is usually cut from beef, although it can also come from other animals such as pork, lamb, or game meats. It is often cooked by grilling, broiling, or frying, and can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as vegetables, potatoes, or sauces.
