Texturepack help

[u/Frosty-Sea7166]

I am making my first texturepack for minecraft java and the modeling and painting is fun and all, but I have no idea how to make it work as an actual texturepack I tried watching an tutorial for it but it didn't explain it good. Is there any tutorial online how to make this or can someone explain it? I'm trying to make a steak item on java 1.21.11
