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.

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 ''Mario'' RPG to be a sentient food or drink preparation, with [[Bundt]] being the first and [[Chuckolator]] being the second. Similarly, all three are consumed after being defeated.

==Creation and development==
===''Super Mario-kun''===
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.
The steak reappears in volume 53 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' retaining a similar role to their source material. However, the steak now has an additional face which was not seen in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''

==Trivia==
*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.
**However, there was no crab or lobster boss that appears in the following ''Paper Mario'' game, ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.
*There seems to be multiple sentient steaks, as the VIP gives Mario another steak if he does not prepare the steak properly.
