Cattle rancher claims restaurant serves ‘fake steak’ — here’s how they get away with scamming customers

Get that meat outta here.

In a world of various kinds of meat alternatives — it can be hard to tell what’s real or not these days.

A cattle rancher recently took to social media to share what he discovered to be a “glued meat product” and is instructing others how to spot one when ordering steak at a restaurant.

Rockin’ W Ranch Cattle Co. is a family-owned Angus beef ranch that prides itself on being hormone and antibiotic-free.

In an Instagram post that has sent waves across the meat-loving community, one of the company’s cattle ranchers is seen picking apart an 8 oz. steak filet he ordered at a steakhouse in Weatherford, Oklahoma, that he claims is not the real deal.

“…I should’ve known at first because it’s really hard to get an 8-oz filet that’s truly a filet because they don’t get that big in animals very often,” the expert is heard explaining in his video.

“When it came perfectly round, I should’ve suspected something. I ate a little bit of it and thought, ‘Man, something’s not right. So you can definitely tell this is glued together. Probably a sirloin that’s been tenderized and glued together to look like a filet.”

In the caption of the post, the cattle rancher shared some dead giveaways that this cut of meat isn’t what the restaurant claimed it to be.

“Since I raise and process around 100 cattle per year, I know it is rare to get a filet that big off of an animal. 2. Filets when cut off an animal are never perfectly round. 3. The price is another giveaway. When you can get a 8-oz filet prepared in a restaurant for $28, you should be suspicious,” the caption read.

There is a product called moo gloo, used just for this purpose. It’s probably also used to make those deli counter meats like turkey breasts that are so large, they can’t possibly be one turkey breast, so they probably glue pieces together. Transglutaminase is the chemical name for moo gloo.

“Since I raise and process around 100 cattle per year,”
100 cattle per year is not a cattle rancher, just a side deal apart from his other affairs. You don’t make money on 100 head.

Meat glue, pink slime. Thanks a lot fellas.

Canned beef stew used to be pretty good, or almost, anyhow. Then they cheaped out and started using “chunked and formed” scraps held together with glue. That’s pathetic

In other news my brother who set up liquid flow rate machines for various manufacturers, worked in a chicken pot pie factory once. Lines of semis with live chickens entered the facility while lines of freezer semis hauling pot pies exited. It was a busy business.

100 head is just playing. He's a hobby rancher and apparently an expert.... lol.

The real ranchers are working, not posting on social media to get "views."

During WWII, we used to eat Spam and pretend it was real meat... We were happy to get it...

Rationing meant ONLY the rich people got enough stamps so they could eat beef or lamb...

Last I heard they’re about $3.50/lb on the hoof for feedlot steers.

And they get slaughtered at 800-1000lbs.
