A Steak is a cut of raw beef. It is one of the most filling single pieces of meat and must be cooked before eating. It also goes into stews, stir fries, pasta and many other dishes.
Steak spoils within two days, so it should be cooked or frozen soon. It is a very common find early on in butcher shops, grocery store meat cases, restaurant kitchens and house freezers. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A cooked Steak lowers hunger by 40. It holds 220 calories, with about 32 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat. Eaten raw, it is dangerous and can make a character sick.
Steak is better hot and worse cold, so it is best eaten soon after cooking. Its good effects turn bad as it starts to spoil.
A Pork Chop lowers hunger by 30 at the same weight of 0.3. A whole piece of Beef lowers hunger by 80 but weighs 0.5. Steak is a filling meal that is easy to carry.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
