In Western cuisine, steak is mostly served as the main dish on the menu, so when dining, it should be enjoyed in the order of starter, soup, side dish, main course, salad, dessert, coffee and tea.

The etiquette of eating steak is summarized here in seven key points: sit upright facing the dish; relax your shoulders and wrists; keep your arms close to your body; don't go too high or low on your elbows; tilt your knife and fork at an angle to the plate; press the dish firmly with your fork; and move your knife gently, but press harder when you press it.

To cut: the fork in the left hand presses down on the steak or other thing; the knife in the right hand opens the cut and saws it into small pieces; the fork in the left hand picks up the cut food and brings it to the mouth.

If there is something you need to do to get out of your seat but you haven't finished eating yet, put down your knife and fork and put them in a figure of eight on the sides of the plate, with the blades of the knives pointing in your direction. After each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate.
