— -- Hold onto your stomachs folks. A California woman breezed into Texas over the weekend to devour some 13 pounds of steak, plus all the trimmings, at the 72 Oz Showdown at the Big Texan steakhouse in Amarillo.

Molly Schuyler, who weighs 124 pounds, completed the feat in just under 20 minutes, reports ABC affiliate KVII-TV in Amarillo.

In addition to the three 72-ounce steaks she put down, her meal included three salads, three dinner rolls, three baked potatoes, and three shrimp cocktails, the station reported.

Bobby Lee, who co-owns the Big Texan, told KVII-TV that he's never seen anything like this in the restaurant's history.

"We've been doing this contest since 1960, and in all that time we've never had anybody come in to actually eat that many steaks at one time -- so this is a first for us and after 55 years of it, it's a big deal," he told the station.

Schuyler, who wiped out competition, which included four groups of two people, topped her own record after she downed two 72-ounce steaks in the contest last year.

"[The steaks are] free so I'm pretty happy about that. Otherwise it'd cost me about three hundred bucks!" Schuyler, who won $5,000 for the challenge, told the station.

The feat will be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records.
