| After [[Mario]] substitutes for the [[Tangerino Grill Chef|head chef]] of [[Tangerino Grill]] due to him being left injured by a troupe of [[Shy Guy]]s making mischief in the kitchen and prepares [[Mamma Mia Pizza]] for the [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Larry Koopa|an anonymous VIP]] demands to be fed. The VIP, while obscured by drapes, demands for Mario to prepare them something delicious, and tosses him a massive steak for him to "get started." Walking up to it begins the battle. | | After Mario substituted for the head chef for [[Tangerino Grill]] due to the latter being left severely injured by a troupe of Shy Guy malcontents making mischief in the kitchen area and prepares [[Mamma Mia Pizza]] for the patrons, [[Larry Koopa|an anonymous VIP]] demands to be fed. Mario then proceeded to arrive at the VIP's area. The VIP, while obscured by drapes, then demands for Mario to prepare him something delicious, and tossed him a massive steak for him to "get started." Mario ultimately manages to prepare the steak to its optimum primacy and fed it to the VIP. The VIP was very impressed by his preparations, and then left, leaving a piece of the Orange Big Paint Star nearby where he once was. |

| | As noted above, the fight against the steak is very unconventional, as the player has to defeat the steak within three turns, and the player cannot actually damage the steak at all. |
| The fight against the steak is very unconventional, as the player has to prepare the steak within three turns by doing the following steps:
| |
|
| |
|
| *The steak needs to be tenderized with a hammer, causing it to bend. Perfectly tenderized steak will be bent about 90°. Two "Excellent!" hammer attacks or two "Nice!" big hammer attacks is enough to do so. It cannot be tenderized too much or else it will fall to the ground and the battle will end.
| | The player can only "beat" the steak in the following manner: The player needs to tenderize the steak with a hammer (doing so will have the steak being bent out of shape), then seasoned by using the Salt and Pepper thing card (this will have bits of pepper and salt being visible on the steak), grilled evenly via the grill thing card (this will have it given a slightly toasted appearance, and if done correctly will have it dance a jig), adding Lemon Juice via the Lemons thing card (unlike the prior steps, this does not give any cosmetic alterations to the steak), and then skipping the next turn. |
| *After that, it has to be seasoned by using the [[Salt and Pepper]] Thing card. This will leave bits of pepper and salt on the steak.
| |
| *Next, it needs to be grilled evenly via the [[Charcoal Grill]] Thing card or with two "Excellent!" Big Fire Flower attacks. This will give it a toasted appearance.
| |
| *Finally, it has to be given lemon juice via the [[Lemon (Thing)|Lemon]] Thing card. This does not give any cosmetic alterations to the steak.

| | The steak, in turn, can attack Mario during this time. It attacks with a lower jab, which will cost 12 HP if it connects, a roundhouse kick that will cost 18 HP if connected, a double slap, costing 8 HP each slap, and a body slam, which will cost 14 HP when connected. |
| The steak can attack Mario during the three turns. It can attack with a lower jab, which will deduct 12 HP if it connects, a roundhouse kick that will deduct 18 HP if connected, a double slap, deducting 8 HP each slap, and a body slam, which will deduct 14 HP when connected. | |

| The fight can be ended early by choosing the "Done" option, which replaces "Flee". If the process is done correctly, the VIP will compliment Mario for his cooking and leave behind an orange [[Mini Paint Star]]. If certain conditions aren't met, the VIP will reject the steak and give Mario a new one to prepare. The steak will also be rejected if replicas of the Salt and Pepper, Charcoal Grill and Lemon Things are used. Starting with the third attempt, Mario must pay 1000 [[Coin]]s for every new steak.

| The steak is the third boss in a ''Super Mario'' RPG to be a sentient food or drink preparation, with the [[Cake (boss)|cake]] from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' being the first and [[Chuckolator]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' being the second. Similarly, all three are consumed after being defeated.

| According to the developers' notes in the electronic manual, they wanted to make the steak look appetizing to anyone who saw it. During a company barbecue event, they had a professional cameraman take pictures of it during various stages of preparation. At the end of the notes, the writer jokes that a boss of the next game should be a crab or lobster.
