A worthy sentiment, but I wouldn't focus on the steak in the question of
authenticity.  The green beans are New World in origin and probably not used
in period.  The frozen sweet could be Ancient Roman or totally out of
period.  I don't recall any reference to frozen desserts in period.  The
grilled shrimp in conjunction with steak is of questionable authenticity.

If you are willing to go with a very late German feast, very, very late 16th
Century, I can make a case for steak and potatoes, although very unlike
modern American fare.
