Never order steak on QFF. It’s reheated for minimum of 15 mins in microwave by galley rules making it simply inedible. Been doing this for years and blaming food safety rules for the complete disasters they surve. Sound like they are doing it with the lamb now.I was on QF11 on Sunday (19th), equally surprised at the Taittinger BdB being served pre-takeoff. I switched to the Head shiraz after departure so can't remember what the in-flight bubbles were.
Interestingly I had the lamb for main as well, I didn't find it as bad as you described, but not the best main I've had on QF.
I actually had the cheeseburger for dessert, felt like the right thing to do on a flight to the US. Went down well with another couple of glasses of shiraz.

My stupid decision was to have the steak on the way home on QF12 last night, which was essentially a piece of cardboard. The menu said it came with a "sour cream peppercorn sauce" which I asked for when it was served, only to be informed that said sauce is actually included (and therefore pre-dehydrated) as part of the cardboard/meat itself. 0/10 do not recommend.

Maybe too many vegetarians as cabinet staff!
Other airlines seem to manage to cook steak properly but not QF. Sigh…
