The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

A steak is generally a cut of meat that has been sliced perpendicularly to the muscle fibres, though the term can also be used to describe meat cooked in a sauce (as in steak and kidney pie) or ground meat formed into the shape of a steak. Steaks are generally made of beef, though other meats and even fish can be used.[3]

History

For unknown reasons, during the 1984–1985 school year Christmas holidays, there was raw steak in the Artefact Room. Peeves wanted to give it to Penny Haywood as a Christmas gift.[4]

Steak was among the foods served at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter seemed to have a fondness for it, having it at the Start-of-Term Feast in 1991[1] and 1994.[2] After being bitten by Fenrir Greyback during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, William Weasley developed a craving for very rare steaks.[5]

A large steak made of dragon meat was used by Rubeus Hagrid during the 1995–1996 school year to assuage his wounds sustained from attempting to tame his half-brother Grawp.[6]

Angus Steak Houses is a chain of restaurants that specialises in this dish.[7]

Steak is a flavour of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.[8]
