What type of meat is a steak cut from?

Steak is typically cut from beef, specifically from the muscle tissue of cattle.

However, you can also find steaks made from:

* Pork: These are sometimes called "pork chops" depending on the cut.

* Lamb: These are usually called "lamb chops" or "lamb steaks".

* Fish: Some fish cuts are called "fish steaks".

* Other meats: There are even steaks made from game animals like elk or venison.

So, while "steak" usually implies beef, it can refer to cuts from a variety of animals.
