Abstract
Abstract A board supports the steak or meat and a guide box overlies the board and holds the meat firmly. Slots in the guide box permit a knife to cut through the meat onto the board. The box is then removed and turned 90* and further cuts made thus cutting the steak or meat substantially into cubes for use in kebab cooking, stews, or the like.
