The first trick to distinguish between true and false steaks is to look at the price. The price of an authentic steak of100g is around 50 yuan. If it is lower than that of 50 yuan, you can't buy an authentic good steak, so it must be a fake steak.

Second, look at the ingredients list

Some finished steaks have a list of ingredients on the packaging. If there are ingredients such as glutamine, soy protein isolate, edible gum or carrageenan in the list of ingredients, it is obviously a fake steak made of minced meat. However, not all profiteers will display the ingredient list on the package. For steaks without the ingredient list, we must also master the following distinguishing skills.

Third, look at the appearance

The most obvious feature of fake steaks is that they are regular, because most fake steaks are cake-shaped pressed meat uniformly pressed by machines, which looks neat, round, regular and even. However, fake steaks don't have the natural muscle texture of real steaks, and some steaks don't even have a little fat on them. This kind of steak must be fake steaks.

The most common fake steaks on the market are usually pressed into the following round cakes, which are regular and uniform. Because this kind of steak is made by splicing other minced meat with edible glue and then pressing it with a machine, it can be as round as it wants. Fourth, taste the taste

It is difficult to distinguish the steak from the appearance, especially if it is medium-cooked and poured with juice, it is almost impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the texture. At this time, we can only distinguish the authenticity of the steak by the taste.

Real steak has the unique chewy feeling of beef, which is tender and juicy and has natural meat flavor, but fake steak can't have this feeling, the meat is loose and chewy, and it is often cut into pieces when it is cut.

Some fake steaks are also added with beef paste or beef essence. The beef flavor of this fake steak is obvious and smells strong.
