Raw Beef

Raw Beef is a food item that can be obtained by killing a Cow. Raw Beef heals 1.5 hunger. Raw Beef can also be cooked into Steak by cooking it in a Furnace.

Obtaining

 * There are a few other ways to get Cooked Beef (Steak) without using Furnaces.
 * One way is to set Cows on fire by using Flint and Steel on the ground they are standing on or by placing Lava next to them.
 * However, this method may cause the drops to burn.
 * It can be mitigated by allowing the mob to naturally escape the Fire (or if using Lava, by removing the Lava with the Bucket used to place it before it starts to flow).
 * A good method is to enchant a Sword or Bow with Fire Aspect or Flame. This doesn't burn the drops.

Trivia

 * Raw Beef heals the most hunger of all raw foods.
 * Like all meats in Minecraft, Raw Beef can be cooked in a Furnace. However, instead of being called "Cooked Beef," it is called Steak.
 * Raw Beef can be fed to Wolves.
