it should be original.

Nowadays, all kinds of steaks are dazzling, and it is easy to buy inferior steaks if you don't understand them. Moreover, these inferior steaks are harmful to your health if you don't know the raw materials, so it is very necessary to learn how to distinguish them, especially now that some steaks are divided into raw cuts, synthetic cuts and whole cuts. You can tell the good and bad at a glance by learning the distinguishing method.

Synthetic steak

Just look at the word "synthetic" and you will know that such a steak is definitely not serious. The so-called synthetic steak is a whole made of minced meat. For example, some minced meat is put together without beef scraps, and edible glue is added to glue all the minced meat together, and then pressed into a whole, and then sliced into a steak. These are called "synthetic steaks".

Synthetic steak

How can you tell if it is synthetic steak when you buy steak? In fact, you can see at a glance from the ingredient list that any steak containing carrageenan belongs to synthetic steak (as shown below). Carrageenan is a thickener and has the function of adhesion. The purpose of adding carrageenan to synthetic steak is to make the minced meat better adhere to a whole, so that the minced meat is not easy to spread, and it looks like a whole is actually composed of minced meat, so don't buy steak containing carrageenan in the ingredient list.

original-cut steak

the quality and taste of original-cut steak can be described as the best. When it is cut from beef, it has no processing and pickling process, which requires higher quality of beef, so it is usually made from better parts of beef, so the price of original-cut steak is also the most expensive. A good original-cut steak looks like a piece of beef without seasoning, but it tastes very good. This steak has a strong flavor.

Whole-cut steak

Whole-cut steak is the most popular recently, especially in some online celebrity. Whole-cut steaks are actually pickled steaks. Whole-cut steaks are similar to the original cuts. They are all originally cut from beef without any synthetic process. Generally, better beef parts will be cut and sold as original cuts, and secondly, the ones with different tastes will be used as whole cuts.

Therefore, in order to make the whole cut steak taste better, it is necessary to add seasonings to marinate it on the basis of the original cut, so as to make the beef more tasty and tenderize it at the same time. The marinade added is mainly some commonly used seasonings (as shown below). The whole cut steak has no carrageenan, so it is more convenient to read it carefully when buying it, and just fry it directly after buying it.

after reading the above three different steak identification methods, I believe you also know the good and bad ones. If divided according to the grade, it is: original cut steak >; Whole steak > Synthetic steaks, among which synthetic steaks are recommended not to be bought, because the raw materials are unknown, and many of them are synthesized from minced meat of unknown origin.

the original cut steak is the best, but the price is more expensive, and the most affordable one is the whole cut steak. The taste is not much better than the original cut steak, and it is more popular with the public.
