I will say it was less fatty than I remember them 30 years ago.

I do like how the product name is a question.

I had no idea those were still in production. They used to cost more than plain old steak.

beef = anything 'cow' related so i can believe that

i usually just partially freeze a thick beef chuck cut and they're pretty easy to slice thinly against the grain

Oddly enough it has one ingredient:

Totally unexpected



Ironwing it was pretty low cost. I'm sure the per pound cost is higher than a steak but a 6 or 8 slice pack was two or three dollars.

Yep, beef steak, beef connective tissue, beef guts... unless they tell you "100% (cut name)" it doesn't mean anything. Another fun trick of their trade is to raise the animals here, ship them to China for processing, then ship them back and sell them as "US farm raised!" It's all about being technically correct.

I was just surprised it didn't have additional "seasonings"/preservatives.
I do realize its mostly lips and assholes.

Never heard of them, but it looks like a convenient way to make a steak sandwich. Where are they located in the grocery store?

What the fucks a steak-umm?

*goes to google*

"chopped and formed emulsified meat product that is comprised of beef trimmings left over after an animal is slaughtered and all of the primary cuts, such as tenderloin, filet, and rib eye, are removed. . . . The emulsified meat is pressed into a loaf and sliced, frozen and packaged."

:eek:

Wait, nevermind. I'll just slice up actual steak.

Yes, mine was near the precooked frozen burgers and frozen prepackaged breakfast sausages.
Its not as great as I remember them but I don't regret trying them out again.

BTW, for those that slice up actual steak for sandwhiches, what kind of cuts do you use? Would cheaper cuts, like chuck, be good? Or, would it be better to have a more fatty cut?

I eat my lips and arseholes in a pork pie like a civilised person thank you.

Pork Pie? This has to be a Europe thing. I'm intrigued.

Not being an expert, I'd guess a cut that is on the fattier side. Kind of like how hamburger needs to be around 80/20 or 85/15 to be good. Too fatty and it sucks and too lean and its boring.

Frozen foods. Usually around the processed meats like Weaver Chicken, meatballs, etc. I like them, fry up some onions and top with cheez-whiz, nice crusty roll, good stuff.

I used to enjoy a Steak-Umm sandwich from time to time in my early twenties but I don't think I've had one in 20+ years.
