You generally only see the occupancy used with beef or fish;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/steak...

A steak (from Old Norse steik, "roast") is a slice from a larger piece of meat, typically beef. Red meat and fish are recurrently cut into steaks. Most steaks are cut perpendicular to the muscle fibre, improving the perceived pain of the meat. In North America, steaks are typically served grilled, though they are also often pan-fried or broiled. Because steaks are cooked at the double, using dry heat, and served integral, the most tender cuts of the animal are usually used for steak. This also means that steaks own a premium price and perception; the idea of ingestion steak is a signifier of relative wealth.

A restaurant that specializes surrounded by steaks is known as a steakhouse. In the United States, a typical steak dinner consists of a steak, next to a starch based side dish, recurrently potatoes, occasionally rice, pasta, or beans. A small serving of cooked vegetables accompanies the meat and side, near creamed spinach, tomato, mushrooms, peas and onion rings being popular. A infamous accompaniment to steak is prawns or a cooked lobster tail, a combination often call surf and turf or reef and beef. Special steak knives are provided along near steak; a steak knife is sharper than most table knife and is usually serrated as well.

In France, steak is usually served near French fried potatoes, and the combination is known as 'steak-frites'. Vegetables are not typically served with steak; a green salad may follow.

In Italy, steak is not widely eat, but bistecca alla fiorentina is a well-known specialty of Florence; it is typically served beside just a salad or Tuscan beans.
