After consuming a steak, protein digestion begins in the stomach, where the acidic environment and enzymes like pepsin break down protein into smaller peptides. As the partially digested food moves into the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin further break down these peptides into amino acids. These amino acids are then absorbed through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream, where they are transported to cells for various bodily functions, including tissue repair and muscle building.
