In order to have beat this one I think Adam should've did what he did in that One with all that Crab. Cut all the Steak up into bite sized pieces before eating. Cause having to stop to cut each individual piece slows you down. If you have all the steak cut up at the beginning, you don't have to worry about cutting it, you just eat it!
