Word origin

The word 'steak' originated from the mid-15th century Middle English word 'steik', which meant a thick slice of meat or fish. It is believed to have come from Old Norse 'steik', meaning to roast on a stick. The culinary sense of 'steak' as we know it today, referring to a slice of meat, became popular in the 18th century.
