The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a community-made secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is simply a slab of raw rib-eyed steak, supposedly from a Template:W.
When eaten with primary fire, the weapon heals no damage to the Heavy, but bestows a multitude of buffs: move speed is increased to 311 HU/s — roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed — damage dealt and damage taken are delivered as Mini-crits, and the player is restricted to using melee weapons for the duration of the buffs. The buffs last for a total of 15 seconds, and the weapon itself takes 4.3 seconds to consume. In the same way as the Sandvich, when eaten the player will be forced into the third-person view as the Heavy stops and makes a loud munching noise whilst eating.
Should the player use secondary fire, the item will be thrown to the ground and functions as a pickup similar to the Sandvich, providing health upon being picked up. The primary fire effects are not applied on dropped Steaks. Should the Heavy be killed whilst holding the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, it will be dropped as a collectible for 50 Health — 75 for a Scout.

Bugs
- It is possible to get the achievement Retire the Runner by killing a Heavy under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, possibly due to the Steak having similar effects to Crit-a-Cola.
- The Axtinguisher will only mini-crit a Heavy who is under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, regardless if he is on fire or not.
- When eating the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, no bite marks will appear visible for the player, yet other players may see a bite mark form. On occasion, the Steak Sandvich will glitch and show a first person view of a bitten Steak Sandvich.
Trivia
- The Peyote Cactus was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich. However, play-testers thought that people might find a man in a Native American Head Dress eating Template:W and going on a rage-induced killing spree offensive. The Steak was therefore created as a quick replacement.[1]
