Skinny mom of four devours 72-ounce steak in under 3 minutes

Competitive eater Molly Schuyler scarfed down a 72-ounce steak in less than three minutes.

That's one way to get a free meal.

Molly Schuyler, a 120-pound mother of four, recently downed an entire 72-ounce steak in under 3 minutes.

(And then she ate the side dishes.)

The record-setting chow-down took place at Sayler's Old Country Kitchen in Portland, Oregon. According to the eatery's website, anyone who can eat the entire 72-ounce slab of meat in less than an hour gets the entire meal — usually $65 — for free.

Before Schuyler's attempt, of the 1,500 people who attempted the "72 oz Steak Challenge," only 10 women had been successful.

The record for the specific challenge was more than 12 minutes, Philly.com reported. The world record for eating a 72-ounce steak, however, was 6 minutes and 48 seconds, set by Peter Czerwinski.

Schuyler broke both records, finishing in 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

Schuyler, 34, isn't just a skinny mom with a large appetite. She's a top-ranked competitive eater with numerous records to her name.

Earlier this month, she devoured a 12-pound sandwich, a pound of fries and a large soft drink at the Mad Greek Deli in Portland. She was the first woman to ever complete that challenge.

Weeks earlier, she uploaded a video of herself downing 9 pounds of cottage cheese in less than two minutes, which qualified her for this year's Wing Bowl 22.

"(It's) an unexplained phenomenon; I was just born that way. I started doing this about a year ago, and I guess it's like a stupid human trick," Schuyler told KPTV.

"She's amazing when it comes to eating," Schuyler's husband, Sean, told the Des Moines Register last January. "She's an amazing person period, but she's really amazing when it comes to eating."

In an interview with the World-Herald in 2012, Schuyler credited drinking water with her ability to consume so much.

"I drink a lot of water," she said. "Since I drink so much liquid, I have a really big stomach."

Yesterday, Schuyler uploaded a video of herself consuming an entire 16-inch pizza in under 2 minutes — with one hand behind her back.

She hopes to duplicate her success on Guinness Records Unleashed later this year.
