Steak Wiki Guide

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.

Where to find Steak in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find steak in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.19	Foodstuffs
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.20	Food & Drinks

• Platform is the platform that applies.
• Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Required Materials to make Steak

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft steak:

1 Raw Beef

How to craft Steak in Survival Mode

You can craft steak in Survival Mode using either a furnace or a smoker.

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make Steak

Next, place the raw beef in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the raw beef.

Once the raw beef is cooked in the furnace, the steak will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Steak to Inventory

Now that you have made steak in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made steak in a furnace in Minecraft!
