They're all fine but have slightly different meanings. Do you see the differences?

Yes, that was clear from post 1. However, that doesn't explain why you wrote them in the first place. What prompted you to write them?

Is there some reason you don't want to use the perfectly natural "I'm good at cooking steak(s)"?
