I learned in Biology class that proteins/enzymes unfold and lose their function when they are heated up. How do steaks stop have so much protein when cooked?

Edit: wow, came back from work and got some great answers! Thanks everyone!

Protein shape ultimately gives rise to protein function.  The proteins in steaks don't still need to be functional to be proteins.  A denatured protein is still a protein, and if you have somehow broken it down into its constituent amino acids your body can still take those amino acids and build proteins out of them.
