[RANT] Mechanically tenderized meat

[CanadianChick]

How did I now know this until now, I bought what i believed was a nice cut of beef from a very well know major franchise store. I seared it in a hot pan put it in the oven at 325F for an hour and 20 minutes, how I always roast my beef. I took it out "tented it" with aluminum foil,let it rest for 10 minutes. It was harder than rock, tasted very bad and I was dismayed why it was so bad. I was so mad I told my girlfriend let's order something this is disgusting, she agreed.

This morning I took out the packaging form the trash can to see what it said, I was sure the date was the same day as I bought it, it sure was but on there in fine print under the price it had "Mechanically tenderized."

I have never seen that line "Mechanically tenderized" before, or have not paid attention to it. I looked it up and that is a disclosure Canadian retailers have to disclose on meats that are in essence made to be more tender by punching fine holes into it to break up the muscle and may also contain chemicals to soften up the meat.

What the hell I never knew this my bad but I will always check the label to make sure I never buy any meat with that "Mechanically tenderized" label.



Have a good day.

The feed they give live stock is not all that healthy plus hormones and antibiotics,then they go inject the meat with chemicals, this is not good news.

Nothing from a cow is wasted, not it's milk, skin or meat

Sounds to me like a scam , making hard meat 'softer' to charge more

It is a scam screwing people over making the meat seem softer than it really is.

When I was growing up it did not even exist we had no vegan burgers or turkey sausages.

Label might as well say. If you can't afford a good cut of meat you're stuck with this old shit.

[monsta]

First I heard of that term.

Buy and eat organically grown poultry and meats save yourself from diseases. Even if you have to eat smaller portions.
