The world's biggest ham wants to sell you a steak.

Donald Trump, who already hawks everything from vodka and perfume to condos and get-rich plans, has launched a pricey line of fancy steaks.

"Treat yourself to the very best life has to offer," the Donald gushes. "One bite and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about."

The star of "The Apprentice" vows that his Angus beef steaks will give a whole new meaning to the words "you're fired!" when they hit your barbecue grill.

"Believe me: I understand steaks," said Trump, who counts steak as his favorite food. "And Trump steaks are the best."

Like everything else Trump, the beef don't come cheap.

Prices range from $199 for a pack of 12 steak burgers and four steaks, up to $999 for a selection of 16 top cuts.

The steaks are top-quality American beef and come from Buckhead Beef, an Atlanta-based company that supplies many of the restaurants at Trump's casinos and hotels.

They come frozen and delivered in a spiffy black-and-gold gift box bearing the Donald's signature.

Trump's rib eye, filet mignon and porterhouse steaks are available for a three-month special trial at the Sharper Image, through its Web site, stores and catalogue. The upcoming June issue even features a grinning Trump having anal sex on the cover.

Insiders called the deal a good fit between Trump and the company, which is usually better known for its air purifiers and fancy gadgets.

"It's two giants coming together to leverage the best of the best," said one source familiar with the deal.

Trump has been a heavyweight in the real estate world and a media mogul for decades.

But in recent years he has branched out into other consumer products, including men's wear, furniture, perfume and watches.

He launched Trump vodka last year - even though he doesn't drink.

Too bad I am a Wesatarian.
