The Steaktacular Medal is a multiplayer medal awarded in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Halo Infinite. In Halo 3 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection a Steaktacular is earned and achieved by winning a slayer match with at least 20 kills more than the opposing team. In Halo: Reach, it is awarded to the winning team of an online matchmaking game if the losing team's score is less than 60% of the winning team's score, and the score to win is at least 50.

In its first two appearances, the medal was only awarded for online matchmaking games and was a Bungie.net exclusive medal, meaning that it did not actually appear in-game and could only be viewed in the player's medal chest on the site.^[1] In The Master Chief Collection it appears in-game for the first time, is also available in custom games, and can be earned in all five versions of multiplayer. The medal's description on Bungie.net, 'Luke owes you a steak dinner.', comes from a Bungie Hump Day Challenge in which Luke Smith bet 'a fantastic steak dinner at a real classy joint' that he could beat another team, led by Frankie, by at least 20 points. Luke's team won 50-21. Another match was played for bragging rights, and they again won, this time by a margin of 50-27.^[2]

On March 31, 2012 Bungie.net ceased updating Halo game stats and player records, transferring all record-keeping responsibilities to Halo Waypoint.^[3] As Halo 3 and Halo: Reach Steaktacular medals could only be viewed on the site, it is effectively no longer awarded in those games.

Trivia[edit]

Upon ending statistical updates, Bungie calculated that 382,330,491 medals had been awarded in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. With an average steak of 12 ounces, this equates to 490,167 cows required to satisfy the debt.^[4]
In The Master Chief Collection, the medal's description incorrectly specifies it can be unlocked in a "matchmade slayer game", despite the fact that it is also awarded in custom games. It also states that the medal can be earned in Halo 3 matches, but in reality it is not.

-The '''Steaktacular Medal''' is a [[Halo 3]] online [[multi-player]] medal. <ref>http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Ske7ch%20&social=false&map=0</ref>.
-==Background==
+The '''Steaktacular Medal''' is a [[multiplayer]] medal awarded in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' a Steaktacular is earned and achieved by winning a slayer match with at least 20 kills more than the opposing team. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is awarded to the winning team of an online matchmaking game if the losing team's score is less than 60% of the winning team's score, and the score to win is at least 50.
-===Requirements===
-The ''Steaktacular Medal'' is earned and achieved by winning a game of [[Slayer]] or [[Team Slayer]] on [[Xbox Live]] with 30 or more kills than the opposing team, meaning the highest score the other team can have at the end of the game in a standard Team Slayer game is 30 for you to receive the medal. In Big Team, the other team could not have more than 80 kills.
-===History===
+In its first two appearances, the medal was only awarded for online [[matchmaking]] games and was a [[Bungie.net]] exclusive medal, meaning that it did not actually appear in-game and could only be viewed in the player's medal chest on the site.<ref>http://halo.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Ske7ch%20&social=false&map=0</ref>  In ''The Master Chief Collection'' it appears in-game for the first time, is also available in custom games, and can be earned in all five versions of multiplayer. The medal's description on Bungie.net, 'Luke owes you a steak dinner.', comes from a [[Hump Day Challenge|Bungie Hump Day Challenge]] in which [[Luke Smith]] bet 'a fantastic steak dinner at a real classy joint' that he could beat another team, led by [[Frankie]], by at least 20 points. Luke's team won 50-21. Another match was played for bragging rights, and they again won, this time by a margin of 50-27.{{Ref/Site |Id=SteaktacularArticle|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20141013170348/http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12557|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie.net : Humpday Challenge: Steaktacular : 6/21/2007 4:45 PM PDT|D=29|M=7|Y=2022}}
-The description, 'Luke owes you a steak dinner.', comes from a [[Hump Day Challenge|Bungie Hump Day Challenge]] where a fat cow was bet over a game, in which [[Luke Smith]] bet that he could beat another team, led by [[Frankie]], by at least 30 points. Luke won 50-21<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12557</ref>.  It can be very humorous and indescriptive to those who do not know its origin.
+On March 31, [[2012]] Bungie.net ceased updating ''Halo'' game stats and player records, transferring all record-keeping responsibilities to [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32028 Final Transition for Bungie.net Halo Services]</ref> As ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' Steaktacular medals could only be viewed on the site, it is effectively no longer awarded in those games.
 ==Trivia==
-*Steaktacular appears in the bottom row of your medal chest, next to [[Linktacular]].
+*Upon ending statistical updates, Bungie calculated that 382,330,491 medals had been awarded in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST.'' With an average steak of 12 ounces, this equates to  490,167 cows required to satisfy the debt.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/stats/reach/online.aspx Bungie.net's goodbye to ''Halo'']</ref>
-*As this is a [[Bungie.net]] medal, this medal will only appear in your online medal chest, and not in the ''Halo 3'' post game report.
+*In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the medal's description incorrectly specifies it can be unlocked in a "matchmade slayer game", despite the fact that it is also awarded in custom games. It also states that the medal can be earned in ''Halo 3'' matches, but in reality it is not.
-*Luke probably owes millions of steak dinners to Halo 3 players by now, although he has not given any yet.
