A Canadian man is facing several charges after beating his girlfriend for not cooking his steak properly. The 26-year-old man, who was not identified, punched his girlfriend, knocked her to the ground and then hit her with a metal pole on the thigh for not cooking his steak to the proper level of tenderness, Canoe News reports. He then threw her purse outside in the rain on the front lawn on his Barrie, Ontario home. When police arrived, he had fled the scene but was located the next day parked nearby. He was taken into custody and charged with assault, assault with a weapon and criminal mischief under $5,000. It was unclear if the argument erupted because the steak was overcooked or under cooked.(APP)
