Why does food need to be digested to be absorbed?
Because a steak does your body no good directly. However by breaking down (digesting) the food to the basic components like amino acids, then your body absorbs the essential nutrients and leaves the rest in the digestive tract.
How do digested nutrients get in the blood stream?
After food get digested, there are enzymes that break down larger molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecules before it can pass into the blood stream. Mainly in the small intestine, nutrients pass into the blood stream. Depending on the type of "nutrient" that get passed through, some just diffuse through by difference in concentration gradient. Some require active pumps in the lining of the small intestine to pump the "nutrient" into the cell or blood stream. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. In short, some molecule just pass through. Some needs to be pumped across the cell membrane.
