Beef sometimes smells like poop?

[Captante]

Psssst .... that's NOT beef!

Chinese food does that to me, like if I get take-out & then stop at another store and then go back to my car, for a couple seconds it smells like...fecal matter.

Every now and then, when I'm working with beef (cooked, uncooked, steak, hamburger, multiple sources/vendors, organic and inorganic) I get a... whiff... and it smells or tastes, for a split second, really horrifyingly awful.
.......

You're not the only one with this problem (google for beef+smells+manure). One theory is that regular beef which comes from cattle fattened on grains in huge warehouses eat chicken litter(poop) mixed into their feed which gives beef that special odour. Organic beef doesn't mean fully grass fed since 'organic' cattle can be fed 'organic' corn.

I think the OP is a vegan who volunteers for PETA. I'm still eating my tri tip steak strips tonight. The only thing I'll be smelling is heaven.

Could be the following case :

When a bovine carcass is slaughtered by the butcher, the intestines have to be cut out and removed very carefully in order to prevent a ruptured bowel. When the bowel ruptures, the contents of the bowel will defile the meat of the carcass. The contents of the bowel is comprised of waste, digested food and bacteria. When the contents of the bowel defiles the meat, the bacteria can also become present on that meat. Normally, that meat has to be cut away. It is not allowed to wash it off, because this will enhance the spread of the bacteria over the entire carcass. It could be that the beef that you have is contaminated with "poop" bacteria because it was defiled and was washed off. That could explain the smell of poop.

did OP died?

 

[cbrunny]

OP might have had cancer as per this thread.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Nope, no cancer.

 

[who?]

The ghosts of your dead ancestors are trying to discourage you from eating so much beef.

Then it's over, and it's delicious steak.

What is wrong with me? Or am I picking up on some weird dead-meat thing?

I know this thread is years old, but... something similar happens to me, if someone is cooking steaks, and I don't know its steaks, it smells like dog crap to me, but the second I realize its steaks, it smells like delicious steaks.

My wife almost threw a pan at me when we were newly weds, I walked in the house after work and she had cooked steaks, and the first thing I said was "Babe, it smells like dog shit in here"... then hilarity ensued.

I get that when cooking burgers sometimes ... really weird.




And what's ALSO weird is a necro first-poster that appears to actually have a pulse!

Beef always smells like poop when coming out my backside.

 

[VirtualLarry]

i agree. if i have a pot roast cooking overnight, i'll wake and think "WHO CRAPPED IN HERE???" and then remember that it is the pot roast and it smells fine.

but for 5 seconds, it smells exactly like a poop instead of a meat.

The Matrix is glitching out...

SO...that's seriously never happened to me until this past Monday. I had a couple of 3/4" ribeyes on the grill. I was standing a few feet from the grill drinking a Miller Lite and thought I smelled something bad. I walked to the grill and opened it up a few times as the steaks cooked. Was a weird thing. The steaks were, like I said, really thick and had awesome marbling. It makes me wonder if something about the fat content made it smell that way as they cooked, but I'm also wondering if the grill itself was burning off old food in the pan. Anyhow, steaks turned out great that night.

I had some 1/2" NY Strips tonight and didn't notice anything other than steak smells coming from the grill.

dank weed = skunk = ~dog shit smell sometimes

...it happens. Your brain does weird things. All I know is, I hate that now I get confused sometimes with certain types of shit or skunk smell, and I'm thinking.. "hmmm, I want me some of that, maybe?"

stupid brain.

You'd be cheering them on.

I hate this thread.

Weird. I've never experienced this phenomenon. I mean, sometimes, when I open a package of beef, it smells a little funky, but never actually like dog shit. And especially never while cooking it. I would bet money that now that I've read this thread, the next time I cook a steak I'll smell it.
