The 48 ounce steak at Shula’s Steak House does not offer any awards besides being added to the finishers list, but Sam’s Steakhouse in Terre Haute, Indiana and Marshall, Illinois has a 48 ounce steak that is available for free. The time limit is 20 minutes, same as Adam Richman’s goal time. Bodybuilder Isabelle Turell received a free 48 ounce steak in 2008.
