How to make Steak in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft steak (also known as cooked beef) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, steak is one of the many food items that you can make. However, it is not made with a crafting table but rather with a furnace or a smoker. When you eat steak, it will replenish your food meter.
Let's explore how to add steak to your inventory.
