Molly Schuyler, a mother-of-four from Nebraska, has smashed the world record for speed eating by devouring a 72oz steak in 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

The 125-pound woman finished the mammoth meal in just 2 minutes and 44 seconds using her hands.

The video of Molly Schuyler’s world record has since gone viral.

The previous record used to belong to an eater who was described as a “body building huge man”.

He only managed to eat the meal in 6 minutes and 48 seconds.

Molly Schuyler, 34, even had room to eat some french fries washed down with a drink of water after she had demolished her steak dinner.

She has had a rather impressive start to 2014. Just a day before, she also smashed another world record by eating a 12lb sandwich and 1lb of French fries in just 54 minutes, which saw her awarded $600.
