  1. Seeing as how steak is just &quot;a cooked chunk of meat&quot;, it predates &quot;countries&quot; by several thousand years.

    (yes, think caveman.)


  2. Please advise what type of steak?

  3. MONGOLIA!

    1209-1121 - Genghis Khan (1167-1227), crowned the &quot;emperor of all emperors,&quot; and his army of fierce Mongol horsemen, known as the &quot;Golden Horde,&quot; conquered two thirds of the then known world. The Mongols were a fast-moving, cavalry-based army that rode small sturdy ponies. They stayed in their saddles for long period of time, sometimes days without ever dismounting. They had little opportunity to stop and build a fire for their meal. The entire village would follow behind the army on great wheeled carts they called &quot;yurts,&quot; leading huge herds of sheep, goats, oxen, and horses. The origin of steak was thought to have originated in Mongolia.  Cooking huge pieces of meat over an open flame was easy and satisfied the appetite.  But as the army needed food that could be carried on their mounts and eaten easily with one hand while they rode, ground meat was the perfect choice. They would use scrapings of lamb or mutton which were formed into flat patties. They softened the meat by placing them under the saddles of their horses while riding into battle. When it was time to eat, the meat would be eaten raw, having been tenderized by the saddle and the back of the horse.

    1238 - When Genghis Khan&#039;s grandson, Khubilai Khan (1215-1294), invaded Moscow, they naturally brought their unique dietary ground meat with them. The Russians adopted it into their own cuisine with the name &quot;Steak Tartare,&quot; (Tartars being their name for the Mongols). Over many years, Russian chefs adapted and developed this dish and refining it with chopped onions and raw eggs.
