A waffle type device -- insert non-tbone steak, close, open, and you get nicely cut steak cubes

To be used mostly AFTER the steak has been cooked but before serving

Apparently this has been done http://www.cabelas....s&rid=7510101020603
Except that the ones small enough to fit in your kitchen mostly involve cranking a handle. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004]

       Could you use a potato chipper set to wide?

       Or a wood chipper set to minimum? Don't know, haven't tried it :)   

       See addition to description

       I think you'd be hard pressed to force a cooked steak through a set of static blades or wires. If you're suggesting to force a multitude of wires through a steak, this would likely have to be one very stoutly engineered little device.

       I think "hard pressed" is the point :)

       egg cutters are like multi-garrotte cheese wires - it should work ok as long as its not me cooking the steak.

       After seeing "Fargo", I would not recommend a wood-chipper.

       Use heated wires and you can cook as you cube, sear as you slice, maybe even braise as you bisect.
Okay, that last one was just bad.
  

       [DC] a cuber is not a device that cuts meat into cubes, rather, it is a tenderizer that mashes tough meat into a pulp. These mashed pieces are then woven or pressed together to form a cube steak. Why it's called a cuber, or the product a cube steak, I haven't the slightest idea.

       "To tenderize (meat) by breaking the fibers with superficial cuts in a pattern of squares." - or maybe they did in the beginning.

       bris: I guess I should spend more time in the kitchen...
