Steak or beef is a sliced piece that can be either meat (usually red meat) or fish. It is sometimes referred to as "bistec" in Spanish from the English "beefsteak," which is a cut of meat from a cow, calf, or ox. Most steaks are cut perpendicular to the muscle fibers, thus enhancing the tender texture of the meat, and they are typically served with specially sharp knives to cut them into pieces. In some cuisines, like the American, they are so popular that there are restaurants specialized in serving them: Steakhouses. In the case of the fish piece, it is usually called "filet" to differentiate it from red meat. (Source: Wikipedia) Consider the following list of recipes to prepare steaks in various ways.
