How to get it
Made by a cook of skill 175 from Tender Wolf Meat (drops from mid-level wolves). The recipe is from vendors. Cheap and available — the best bulk food for a guild.
Who needs it and where
+12 Stamina is ~120 HP, valued by tanks and anyone needing survivability; +12 Spirit helps regen. Great when no niche food is at hand: a universal fallback in any raid — Molten Core to Blackwing Lair.
x5 tip: keep a stack "just in case" to cover gaps when specialized food runs out. For tanks the steak is the baseline before Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops.
Compare with
DPS prefer stat-specific food: Grilled Squid, Dumplings, Runn Tum Tum Tuber Surprise. Full overview: food buffs.
FAQ
What does Tender Wolf Steak give?
Well Fed +12 Stamina and +12 Spirit for 10 minutes. The best all-purpose food: more HP and faster regen for any class.
Why is the steak so popular?
It is cheap, easy to make (skill 175) from Tender Wolf Meat, and gives two stats at once. Ideal when you have no class-specific food.
Is the steak better than specialized food?
For pure DPS, no: [Grilled Squid](/en/wiki/grilled-squid) (agility) or [Dumplings](/en/wiki/smoked-desert-dumplings) (strength) are stronger. But the steak is a great cheap fallback and top for new tanks.
