Am not sure if this is accurate but..A steak dinner can take you two, maybe three days to get out of your intestine. What that means is the way you digest it is basically to rot it in your intestines. On the other hand, if you eat vegetables and fruits, they're out of your system in less than 12 hours.

12 hours seems a little too fast and 2-3 days seems a little too slow.
on average most foods take about 20hrs to make their way completely through your system. But there is a wide degree of variation in this.

Hi. Hank Hill (King o' the hill) said that if the intestines were are long as the doctor said it was then steak would have to travel at the speed of sound to pass in a few days.

I don't think two or three days (even for meat) would be "normal." Usually 1-2 days.
