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.

Cockroaches love it too.
They also raise registered quarter horses. The price of a registered Quarter Horse can range from $5,000 to $10,000 for a good, safe family horse, and can exceed $70,000 for elite show or breeding prospects
I don’t find it odd he likes steaks but that he would bother getting at a restaurant what he could find better at home. I would presume he could get some for personal consumption from his processor (if he doesn’t do it himself).
Sold on the net, $1200 for approx 450 lbs cut and wrapped. $3600 for 1330 lbs processed plus shipping.
Spot on. I don't know what's in that can but it sure ain't what it used to be...
From the link;
“Place your Whole Beef deposit today for $1200. Pay the rest ($3870) when your beef is ready. Total amount: $5070.”
Yes, my mistake for not having enough coffee yet. But... Was just looking at the Feeder prices and they are currently running around $140 in a string purchase of 100 or more depending on location. So that is what? $1.40 a pound on the hoof from the ranch before fattening?
I’m not for sure where you are getting $1.40 per pound, fat cattle today are bringing about $2.30 per lb on the hoof.
Read the article and look into the ranch. They bred and sell top bulls as well as grass fed beef. The article refers to the authors as one of their ranches. Don’t think he is a hobbyist or some kid raising steers.
As you know Feeder Cattle sell in quantity strings of animals, more the lower the price. Auction prices are per #100 lbs. So big string buys at $140 per 100 lbs would be $1.40 right? But that is right off the range before fattening. So after fattening your price sounds about right. It isn’t the Ranchers getting rich, that is for sure... Unless they process and sell it themselves. It is the middleman feed lots and packers making all the money before going to the retailer...

Kind of like using cookie-cutter punchouts of stingray wings and calling them scallops.....
“...but it did strike me as odd that a cattle rancher would visit a steakhouse.”
He’s either a spy trying to see what the, ‘competition’ is up to, or he KNOWS what they’re up to and wants to blow the lid off of said, ‘competition!’ ;)
Either way, I’ll pass. Ugh! Plenty of ways to get protein into your diet in the first place besides real OR fake meats.
Tuna, Salmon, Cottage Cheese, Lentils, Beans, Nuts, Eggs, Yogurt (Greek), Quinoa, Peanut Butter, Shrimp, and my favorite - Vodka. LOL! Just Kidding. Maybe. :)
All our paste which smelled so good had something that made it bitter to the taste.
I’m no rancher
I stand corrected
Never saw a cockroach in my life until I went to work for NY State in 1980 as a correctional officer. First time I had to search an inmate's cell at Auburn prison, I reached up and pulled a shoebox off the shelf in the cell, and a whole bunch of roaches went skittering. Jumped a mile. Once a month they had to bring in the fumigator to spray the place. I had to escort the guy around the facility one night while he did his job. Worst place in the prison was the bakery.
Steak is but one of many fine proteins.
I often cook with lentils, beans, and quinoa. I don’t like my yogurt greeked though - no whey!
‘No, Whey!’ LOL! Clever. ;)
Whey!
