Eat your steak and then seat upright.

The difference is large enough to care about it:

Body Position Modulates Gastric Emptying and Affects the Post-Prandial Rise in Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations Following Protein Ingestion in Humans

Dietary protein digestion and amino acid absorption kinetics determine the post-prandial muscle protein synthetic response. Body position may affect gastrointestinal function and modulate the post-prandial rise in plasma amino acid availability. We aimed ...

A 66% post-prandial plasma amino acid availability difference is strikingly huge for such a "trivial" detail.

I like your mindset. I am an evidence-based literature guy myself!

Agreed. I will refrain from laying with my head down at a -20 degree angle after eating

as much as i do like to eat my meals standing on my head, just gonna hafta stop

Post meal walks! A lot of Asian cultures have been doing it forever, movement has additional benefits in digestion along with the upright position.

During the week I'm on the go and we usually sit and have a cup of coffee after dinner. "Cawfee Tawk"

I know it’s an old thread but eating standing up and walking around after a meal has definitely helped my digestion significantly since my last stomach surgery as I’m still having some gastroparisis in the small bowel , definitely better than taking raglan with each meal

I agree - physical activity, those "stupid" 5-10 minutes of walking after a meal significantly improves intestinal peristosis and digestion is much better - the times when bodybuilders were advised to move as little as possible during the day during the offseason are fortunately gone

I normally eat my steak while in my inversion-table. I will be changing my habits starting today!!!

They had a saying years ago "a lazy bodybuilder is a good bodybuilder" lol

Yeah, I've always done it hanging upside-down off a high branch. I mean the term is "Beef Up", not 'Beef Down', duh.
