I would keep an eye on Jewl. High amounts of fat can cause issues such as pancreatitis, which is a serious condition, and even in smaller amounts, steak may cause GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea for a few days. If she does vomit, removing her food for a few hours and then offering a bland meal of boiled chicken and rice can help. If she keeps vomiting, seems painful or in distress, has a tender abdomen, or has blood in her vomit or diarrhea, these can indicate more serious complications which should be seen by a vet ASAP.
