a restaurant that mainly makes steaks is known as a steakhouse. a well-known side dish to steak is prawns or a cooked lobster tail. this combination is often called "surf and turf" or "reef and beef" (the words "surf" and "reef" refer to the seafood and "turf" and "beef" refer to the steak). special steak knives are used to cut steak. a steak knife is sharper than most table knives and is usually serrated.
