For healthy people kidney damage starts at around 2.5 g/kg/day, which is about 5.5 pounds of steak before cooking for a 160 pound man.

How are you calculating that?
Google tells me that 2 lbs of steak contains between 225 and 270 grams of protein. That would be well over the threshold that the article I linked to a couple of posts up mentions:
> Your kidneys process all the extra nitrogen from the protein, and when you’re eating 200 grams a day, sometimes they just can’t keep up and they get stressed.
