How fast does steak have to travel in order to be cooked?
I'm legitimately asking this.
Ok fine, this is too vague. How fast does a steak have to travel in order to be medium rare?

this is overcooked.

You're trying to microwave a steak? Barbarian!

No, I'm trying to say how fast does the steak have to travel in the atmosphere of the earth in order to be cooked medium rare?

A more fun question would be from what height would you need to drop a steak for it to be cooked when it lands on a well placed plate.

That would be fun.
But the next question would then be, if I were to make a steak shooting gun, how fast would the steak have to fly after shooting the gun in order for it to be cooked to medium rare. Assume that the steak will never touch the ground and it undergoes constant sea level air pressure

Wouldn’t the steak have to be coming in at some initial velocity like a meteor in order to be cooked by the friction of the air? Would just dropping it be sufficient?

Terminal velocity of a 16 oz steak appears to be around 100-120km/h if anyone wants to do more work on calculations.

Terminal velocity of a steak appears to be too slow for significant heating to occur so you're probably correct that it would need to already have significant velocity as gravity wouldn't be enough.

Depends on the altitude at which the steak is traveling and the weather conditions
At higher altitudes there are less molecules in the air to collide with, so it would take longer/needs to travel faster to get cooked properly

Depends on the altitude. A Concorde at Mach 2 & 40,000ft altitude had its fuselage at around 100°C, which is enough too cook anything but of course your steak would be torn apart.

It's too fagile it would disintegrate.
let's seal it into the metal capsule tip of a rocket.
What temperatures can we achhieve this way?

Takes about 1.9 megajoules to cook a .2 kg steak from room temp to 57 c for 3 minutes.
Solving 1/2mv^2 for v, you'd get approximately 4500 meters per second.
