How can you estimate ounces in a steak?

1. Use a kitchen scale. This is the most accurate way to measure the weight of a steak. Simply place the steak on the scale and read the display.

2. Use your hand. Hold the steak in your palm and spread your fingers out. If your fingers touch, the steak is about 8 ounces. If there is a gap between your fingers, the steak is less than 8 ounces. If your fingers overlap, the steak is more than 8 ounces.

3. Use a ruler. Measure the length, width, and thickness of the steak in inches. Then, multiply these three numbers together to get the volume of the steak in cubic inches. Finally, divide the volume by 1.8 to get the weight of the steak in ounces.

4. Use a visual guide. There are several visual guides available online that can help you estimate the ounces in a steak. Simply compare the steak to the images in the guide to find a match.

Here is a table that shows the approximate weight of different sizes of steaks:

| Steak Size | Approximate Weight |

|---|---|

| Petite filet mignon | 4-6 ounces |

| Filet mignon | 6-8 ounces |

| Strip steak | 8-12 ounces |

| Ribeye steak | 12-16 ounces |

| T-bone steak | 16-20 ounces |

| Porterhouse steak | 20-24 ounces |
