First of all, this is a synthetic steak. I think the meat inside is fake beef or a combination of pork and duck. I personally recommend not eating this kind of steak. Synthetic steak is actually also called "reconstructed meat". During the processing and slaughtering of livestock or poultry meat, a lot of minced meat will be produced, which is a pity to throw away and is not friendly to the environment. Therefore, recombinant meat technology has emerged. Use meat glue to stick small pieces of meat into large pieces of meat, such as synthetic steaks and synthetic chicken steaks.

1. Materials for making synthetic beef

Beef on the market costs 55 yuan per pound. The price of a steak that costs 10 yuan is unreasonable. There are a lot of synthetic beefs now. I know of two methods of synthesizing beef. The first type is synthetic beef. The second type is duck meat, fake beef made from pork.

1. Synthetic beef

In addition to adding meat glue, edible glue, salt, and sugar, some auxiliary materials such as vitamin C and complex phosphate are also added during the processing of synthetic beef. , soy protein isolate, papaya protein, etc. Helps inhibit bacterial growth in beef, improves the water-holding capacity of meat, and regulates pH. This makes the meat more durable and tastes better. It is also possible to mix egg whites and konjac powder, add salt, starch, soy protein, beef essence, butter, and a small amount of ground beef trimmings, and add sodium hydroxide to form a mixture. The mixture is then made into fibers through a special machine. Final styling and drying.

2. Fake beef made of duck and pork

Pour the sow pork into the pot, put it into the pot and cook it with the beef offal, head and bones until it is eighty-ripe, take it out and dry it Dry, then compress and set, then apply beef flavoring and coloring. The appearance and color make it impossible for ordinary people to tell that it is fake beef.

2. Identify synthetic beef

Go to the market to buy fresh beef. Generally, there is no fake beef. The most important thing is the semi-finished product we buy or consume in restaurants. How can you identify synthetic beef? Many people feel helpless. In fact, it is not difficult to identify fake beef. Mainly look at 3 points.

1) Look at the color. When the real beef is made into finished product, the color will be slightly darker. Whether it is synthetic beef or fake beef made from duck and pork, the color is always yellow.

2) Look at the fiber of the meat. Real beef fiber has clear stripes. Use your hands to tear the fibers into long lengths. Fake beef fiber streaky mess. The fibers are very short when you tear them apart with your hands, and the meat feels very shredded.

3) Taste identification. When you put the fake beef in your mouth, it feels like it melts in your mouth. The meat is very fine. And real beef is very chewy.

Whether it is synthetic beef or fake beef made from duck or pork, it contains ingredients that are very harmful to the human body. Therefore, not only children cannot eat steaks on the market that cost 10 yuan each, but adults should not eat them either. This is my suggestion.
