Just had a steak-umm, am I going to die?

[Ruptga]

me too!

they are delicious with miracle whip + bbq sauce + grilled onions + velveeta on a whole wheat bun

Man I used to have these as kid. They were awesome with tomato sauce and mozzarella on a hoagie bun. I'd eat two.

This is what bacon is for!

Real bacon, not streaky bacon.

Real bacon, not streaky bacon.

I do both but it's got to be dry cured and smoked!

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?

Cheap and good is tri-tip roast. Slice it thin when it's partially frozen.

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

yea they are expensive so i dont buy them.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

yea they are expensive so i dont buy them.

I did the math, they're close but still much more convenient. There are 6 oz in the package, I paid $2 or $3 for the package (I'll assume the higher cost) if I wanted an 8 oz steak I'd need two packages 12 oz of these would definitely cook to 8 oz of steak so the total would be $6 which is similar to a cheap 8 oz steak but a good 8 oz steak near me is $8-12.
Again they are different foods with different expectations and cook times so its not really a fair comparison.

Yep. This is convenience food, heat up pan, put frozen slabs in, and then eat a few minutes later.

Really? wow the last time i saw them at the store they were 7.99 a box. this was several years ago and due to sticker shock never looked for them after that.

I'm nearly positive. I need to shop later tonight or tomorrow I'll double check.

this is similar to how i made Steak-Umms. I would leave out the bell peppers, provolone and used pita bread instead of a hogie.

Just left the store. Two different sizes, the 14(?) oz pack was $8.29 the 6 oz pack was $4.29. Both had discount with store saver card. I'm guessing its $1.00 off with card. I didn't want to buy more to find out.

"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."

...and yet, still more edible than haggis or King Rib.

Not as good as a good lovely human though.

 

[nakedfrog]

Tell me more about this king rib, the wikipedia entry doesn't go into much detail.

Isn't it fun to say "I haven't done (Insert phrase here) is a decade or two"?

Now get off my lawn!

Everything in bold is just wrong. Add them all together and you should just say NO!

It just may work, weird combinations can come out unexpectedly good. My Aunt used to make these:

Its boiled ham, cream cheese and a pickle rolled up. They were fabulous.

I dunno what the hell that is up there but I need to go get some crescent rolls and make some pigs in a blanket.

As a kid I had a similar though. Try it out some time.

That's supposed to be smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers!

I will. I'm not saying it's bad. Its just like finding out someone made sushi with mashed potatoes, cabbage and wurst. Its taking a while for me to get my head round it.

I almost forgot, I remember boiled ham was important and she used the cheap pickles I think the better pickles made it crappy for some reason.

That would ruin it. God put seafood underwater for the same reason toilet bowls are filled with water, that shit stinks.
