Last night on Man v. Food Adam visited Baltimore to take on The Great Steak Challenge at Steak & Main, a challenge so big that even he couldn’t take it down. Despite being about as close as you can get to finishing, Adam failed to beat the clock and complete the 76 ounces of meat along with a pound of sides. This challenge is unique compared to other large steak challenges because it consists of all different cuts of beef that add up to 76 oz. instead of one giant piece of meat. As of the taping of the show only about 25 people had attempted the challenge and only 4 completed it. So do you have what it takes?

A lot of you have been coming here looking for steak challenges so I decided that I’d bring you another large steak challenge today. This one isn’t quite as big as The Big Texan previously featured on the site, but it’s still a good hunk of meat. And since it’s smaller than the other steak challenges the time limit is also greatly reduced. You’re going to have to hustle to finish this thing off in the allotted time.

Where: Sam’s Steakhouse
Terre Haute, IN and Marshall, IL
http://samssteakhouse.org

Challenge: Eat a 48 oz. steak
Time Limit: 20 minutes
People: 1
Prize: Steak is free if completed along with a T-shirt.
Rules: No rules mentioned on the website, but make sure to ask your server before attempting the challenge.

The Big Texan 72 oz steak challenge is probably the most well known food challenge in the country so I figured it was time to add it to the site. Our friend Val, who recently completed the Holy Moly Burrito Challenge, attempted to complete this last year and was unsuccessful, but still sent us pictures. Thanks again Val and we hope you continue to seek out these food challenges and send us the results. The 72 oz steak challenge was also attempted by Adam on Man v. Food in season 1 and I believe he completed it which is quite amazing because not only do you have to eat this huge steak, but you also have to eat quite a few things on the side and all in less than an hour!

Where: The Big Texan Steak Ranch
7701 E Interstate 40
Amarillo, TX 79118
806.372.6000 | http://www.bigtexan.com

Challenge: 72 oz. Steak w/ potato, ranch beans, shrimp cocktail, salad and bread roll w/ butter.
Time Limit: 1 Hour
People: 1
Prize: Steak is free ($72 value), t-shirt, boot mug, and certificate. Winners can also add comments to the Wall of Fame in the restaurant and have their picture in the gallery on the website.
Rules: Entire meal must be consumed and swallowed. Before time starts you will be allowed 1 bite to make sure that the steak is cooked to your liking, after you approve the steak time begins. Once time has started you cannot stand up and nobody else can touch your meal. You don’t have to eat the fat, official judges will determine what is fat. No puking.  Must pay for the steak before starting the contest. Must sit at a table that the judges specify. If you don’t finish the challenge you can take the steak home with you, but you cannot share the steak with anyone in the restaurant after attempting. Good luck.

With 3 locations in Wisconsin and 1 in Illinois, you should have no problem finding a Prime Quarter Steakhouse to attempt the Beefeater’s Challenge at. This 40 oz top sirloin that you cook yourself is an amazing feat of food. It’s not quite as big as the 70+ oz’ers you can find in the Southwest, but it’s not a bad compromise. So if you’re looking for some steak head on down to the nearest Prime Quarter Steakhouse and try your hand, or should I say mouth, at the Beefeater!

Where: Prime Quarter Steakhouse
3 Wisconsin, 1 Illinois Locations (see website)
http://www.primequarter.com

Rules: Must complete all of the food in under 1 hour 15 minutes, no other rules mentioned, but be sure to ask your server for official rules.

As a smaller guy I couldn’t even imagine putting this much meat into my body at one time. Where would it all go? I would probably explode before I reached the half way mark, but to those with the stomach capacity here is a challenge you may be able to conquer, the 76 oz. Challenge! Just think John Candy in “The Great Outdoors” minus the bare-assed bear.

Time Limit: 1 Hour
