What does STEAK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick slice of meat, especially beef, cut for grilling, frying, or broiling.
Steak most often refers to beef cut across or along the muscle into a portion meant to be cooked quickly over high heat, but the term extends to thick slices of other foods as well, including tuna steak, salmon steak, and even gammon steak. Restaurants and butchers distinguish many cuts by name, such as sirloin, ribeye, and fillet, each offering a different balance of tenderness and flavor. The word is also used loosely for any thick, flat slice prepared in a similar way, showing how far the culinary sense has traveled beyond beef alone. A well-cooked steak is often judged by its degree of doneness, from rare to well done.
How STEAK is used
Countable noun; often modified by a cut name (sirloin steak) or a doneness term (medium-rare steak).
- He ordered his steak medium-rare with a side of fries.
- The butcher trimmed the fat from the sirloin steak.
- She grilled a tuna steak instead of the usual beef.
- Smoke filled the kitchen as the steak seared in the pan.
- Two steaks sizzled side by side on the barbecue.
