A steak is a type of meat cut from beef, typically served as part of a meal.
When people go out for dinner, they often order steak - usually it's cooked over high heat and served nice and hot. The most popular cuts are ribeye, sirloin, and filet mignon, which come from different parts of the cow. Sometimes you might find a place that specializes in steak, where they offer all sorts of flavors and toppings to go with your meal - like garlic butter or peppercorns. Other times it's just part of a regular menu at an average restaurant, but either way, people usually think about steak as something rich and satisfying to eat.
Beefsteak: a slice of beef, broiled or cut for broiling.
