Is it okay to ask a (steak) restaurant to pre-cut your steak back in the kitchen?

As in before they serve it to you? It seems like it'd be no big deal but I could be totally wrong.

No!

Maybe if you have a disability preventing you from cutting it yourself. Otherwise, no.

[Anonymous]

Why?

[Anonymous]

you don't know how to cut steak? what a weirdo!

I don’t like cutting steak either but I have never considered that, ha! If you get a good knife, that helps.

True story - my dad cut my meat for me until I went to college. I think that was an act of love.

Some places have a menu option for sliced steak, sometimes with something like a Roquefort sauce.

I think it would go over OK if you are a frail looking elderly person.

I think I have seen them slice it into several pieces on the bias generally, but not into bite sized pieces. Maybe they would do it if you requested?

Sure! Sometimes at work dinners we'll get a 48oz porterhouse for the table and it gets presliced in the kitchen. NBD

If you do, make sure to ask for the spit on the side.

Watching all these Instagram and Facebook vids, these chefs cut it so perfectly & quickly with their big sharp knives. Why can’t they just do that for guests? I find cutting meat so annoying and tedious.

Don’t want to seem weird if it’s an odd request.
