Just wanted to clarify my "steak" entry. (if anyone is wondering if it qualifies as a "steak").
I would not have posted a beef rib as a "steak" if this had not been posted by Peeps describing what a "steak" is.
And for the record, this thread made it look like I could enter a mushroom without a problem.
This is from post #11. Thread here.

A steak is a cut of meat sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone. When the word "steak" is used without qualification, it generally refers to a beef steak. In a larger sense, there are also fish steaks, ground meat steaks, pork steak and many more varieties.
"Steaks" are also cut from grazing animals, usually farmed, other than cattle, including bison, camel, goat, horse, kangaroo,[2][3] sheep, ostrich, pigs, reindeer, turkey and deer, as well as various types of fish, especially salmon. Some cured meat, such as gammon, is commonly served as steak.
Grilled Portobello mushroom may be called mushroom steak, and similarly for other vegetarian dishes.[4] Imitation steak is a food product that is formed into a steak shape from various pieces of meat, while fruits such as watermelon can be grilled and described as "watermelon steak" because of their shape and color.
I made my decision to enter the throwdown from what is highlighted in

I cooked my beef ribs then cut them into "steaks"
As you can see by this photo, the meat is sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, and includes a bone. That makes it a "steak" (as described by Wikipedia and posted by Peeps)
If anyone is interested. That was about 2 pounds of meat on that bone! :becky:
