Quick item summary
Quick answer
Wolf Steak is a meat food item in DayZ obtained from a Wolf. It can be baked over a Fireplace using a Long Wooden Stick, boiled in a Cooking Pot, dried, burned, or become rotten. Unlike safer animal meats, Wolf Steak is predator meat and remains risky to eat. Cooking Wolf Steak has a chance to not remove salmonellosis, meaning it can still make you sick even after preparation. If possible, use safer meats such as Venison Steak, Beef Steak, Boar Steak, or Pork Steak instead.
