An Israeli company announced Tuesday that it has made the world’s first laboratory cultivated rib-eye steak complete with all the flavor and texture of regular meat, minus the harm to animals. Aleph Farms, in a joint statement with the Technion Institute of Technology, said its unique three-dimensional technique had produced a steak with “attributes of a delicious tender, juicy ribeye steak you’d buy from the butcher.” Continue reading… https://www.timesofisrael.com/higher-steaks-as-israeli-company-makes-first-lab-cultivated-rib-eye-cut/ ________________________________________________

DES MOINES - Kamala Harris appeared virtually in a prerecorded message, and addressed a field of cars, trucks and SUVs. Other than that, it was business as usual for the Steak Fry. The Polk County Democrats’ annual fundraiser was held Saturday evening at Des Moines Waterworks Park. The Steak Fry had a new look amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was held drive-in style, with attendees sitting in their cars and listening to the speakers, some of whom spoke in person, and others who appeared via video. Applause lines in speeches were replaced by honk lines - people honked their car...

Sorry for the vanity post, but I have a day off tomorrow (first in awhile) and was thinking about grilling steaks. Would love to hear from FReepers about their favorites. Porterhouse? Filet? Sirloin/sirloin tips? Ribeye? Marinated? Rubbed?

If you've been sweating your way through the past few muggy weeks, it may seem impossible for you to remember a time when it was actually cold enough outside to warrant hats and scarves. But on June 24, a dairy farmer in Ireland tweeted out a pic of one of his calves sporting baby pink earmuffs, and the internet went wild. "So it turns out ear muffs for calves to stop them getting frostbite are a real thing," wrote Twitter user @ThisFarmingMan_. The post has since been liked 171,000 times and garnered more than 30,000 responses. But this isn't the...

Steak and potatoes, creamed spinach, a stiff drink: the menu at your average steakhouse hasn’t changed for over 100 years. Americans flock to these palaces of meat, whether they’re upscale chains or a neighborhood spot whose décor hasn’t changed since the Reagan administration. Despite some falls in consumption in recent years due to price increases and health concerns, steak is still a very big deal in America. This week we’ll take a look at the steakhouse, an American institution. Our modern steakhouse has two direct ancestors, the beefsteak banquet and the chophouse. Both arose, interestingly enough, in mid-19th century New...

VIDEO In this video I show how I saved $37 on 11.55 pounds of steak. Anybody can do this and enjoy eating steak while paying only a small fraction of the usual price.

**SNIP** My stomach was, quite literally, in ferment. All those legumes and pulses and generalised vegetable matter appeared to have turned into a giant internal compost heap. It wasn’t too bad in the mornings; but by early afternoon I was like a cow who had overdosed on clover. At first, I palmed the outcome off on our three dogs. But after a while the problem became so severe that even they could not be expected to account for the frequency and potency of aromas emerging from my lower digestive tract. One of the key arguments of vegans against livestock farming...

Whatever happened to that shining city upon a hill, whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere? In a land such as the one Reagan envisioned, you’d think that people would have enough common sense to know the difference between actual meat and whatever inedible cardboard products the vegans are always trying to sneak into our diets to save the planet. Not so, I’m afraid. At least not in Nebraska. Farmers there are pushing for new legislation, similar to what’s already been passed in Missouri, preventing companies from labeling products with no relation to any tasty animal as “meat.”

Just you're thoughts on Omaha Steaks and the different packages offered through the mail. Any experiences?

The Israeli company Aleph Farms aims to make cuts of environmentally friendly meat that resemble the real thing using animal cells, also called "lab-grown" or "clean" meat. Aleph has now created a prototype steak, the first produced publicly in the world, the company said on Wednesday. While several companies have made prototypes of lab-grown meats, none are available in restaurants or grocery stores. Aleph got its start with help from an Israeli research institute and an incubator that is part of the food giant that owns Sabra — the most popular hummus in America. For the first time in its...

A thief was busted with several steaks shoved down his pants legs while making his moped getaway in the pouring rain on Monday, Nash County deputies say. Earlier, the man stole several steaks -- worth more than $100 -- from the Nashville Walmart, according to deputies. Keith Jordan stuffed at least nine packages of steaks down both his pants legs, the Nash County Sheriff's Office said. He then walked out of the store without paying, according to officials. Deputies posted photos on Facebook of the seized steaks along with Jordan and his moped. "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor...

It’s still unclear what led to the deadly mauling, but a man who used to work with the Stephens said the pet owner loved the canines and was very experienced working with animals, according to WTVR. Other people also said the dogs were social, passive and had a “significant bond” with Stephens...Agnew confirmed the medical examiner said Stephens was on her “menstrual period,” but added: “But I don’t think there’s any way we can definitively say what caused the attack.”

... In Washington under Trump even so rudimentary an activity as eating has become politicized, weighted with aesthetic and class significance, put under the jurisdiction of social arbiters who declare what is woke and what is haram. “Actually, How Donald Trump Eats His Steak Matters,” proclaims a contributor to Eater.com. “The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.” But why is it a problem, Eater.com? Why should so trivial a detail impress itself on the average person’s consciousness for even a microsecond? Aren’t there far more important subjects that warrant...

NEW YORK - Animal lovers will pay their respects to the bull that ran away from a Queens slaughterhouse and died Tuesday. A vigil is being held Wednesday night at the Aziz slaughterhouse on Beaver Road in Jamaica, where the bull escaped from. Bull Who Escaped from Queens Slaughterhouse Has Died Officers chased the bull through the streets for hours, shooting him with tranquilizers. He was eventually cornered at 158th street and 116th Avenue, nearly two miles away. The bull died while on its way to the Animal Care and Control Center in East New York, Brooklyn. The vigil begins...

Drop it like it's hot. That's the secret of cooking a perfectly juicy steak, says Dante Liporaco, owner of Tarquino in Buenos Aires - one of Latin America's top restaurants. He recommends a nice thick cut, warmed to room temperature, then slapped on a sizzling hot pan. It's then seasoned with chimichurri - the Argentinian sauce made with parsley, garlic, oregano, oil and vinegar - and kosher salt. Off the heat, it rests for three or four minutes to allow its juices to settle. Que aproveche!

I have always been a rib-eye fan. That was my favorite cut of steak.But a few weeks ago, I came across a "chuck-eye" steak at Walmart. It looked like a ribeye at half the cost...so I grabbed it.When I did an interweb search, I found many who bragged about its flavor and low cost.I grill another one tonight.Beautiful steak. $5 total cost.This cut is called the poor man's ribeye. But it is just as good at half the price.Just thought my fellow Freepers might want to know.

Robuck, SC (FOX Carolina) - A 56-year-old Woodruff man was arrested after Spartanburg County deputies learned he stole steaks from a supermarket by concealing the meat in his colostomy bag, according to investigative reports. Deputies were called to the Food Lion on Highway 221 in Roebuck just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

This salad...only in America...and I mean that in a really good way. Someone should send this photo to this chick.

Molly Schuyler, 34, reportedly weighs in at 120 pounds. However, on Monday, the professional competitive eater may have added to that total after she consumed two steaks, each weighing 72 ounces. Moreover, she accomplished this feat in under 15 minutes.
