we’ve paused all our marketing the past couple months because it's been a difficult period for both our workers and business due to coronavirus, and we’re really sorry for going silent. here’s what’s been going on behind the beef (THREAD)

another tweet:

this kind of honesty from a corporation is so refreshing. i wish the US government would take a lesson from Steak-Umm. i say that unironically, which is crazy

2. I had no idea they still made this stuff.

My ex-MIL used to make mushroom Steakumm roll ups with gravy. It wasn’t bad. Actually her cooking was so terrible it may have been the best thing she cooked.

8. As long as there are cars and wildlife...

We'll have Steak-Umms

14. OK, now you made me laugh.

3. Ummmm

I don't think so.

In the 2012 lawsuit, Judge Lawrence Stengel described the product as "chopped and formed emulsified meat product that is comprised of beef trimmings left over after an animal is slaughtered and all of the primary cuts, such as tenderloin, filet, and rib eye, are removed. . . . The emulsified meat is pressed into a loaf and sliced, frozen and packaged."

Who eats this stuff? I've been noticing ads lately for a whole variety of retro food products that I don't recall being nationally touted on TV before, and that I haven't dared to eat since maybe 1970: Spam, Pop Tarts, etc. (I can't remember the first one I noticed, which blew my mind). What's up with this? Is the pandemic returning people to favorite unhealthy foods from the 1950s to 70s? Does anyone really dare to buy it anymore?

5. Well when it's hard to find Kobe

Maybe some people eat it. I never asked my single mother why she served this shit instead of some prime Kobe. I think she was just a bad mother to the 6 of us.

7. I wasn't trying to be elitist

You don't have to buy Kobe to avoid dubious, processed slime meat. You don't have to eat meat at all, but if you do (and I do), I suggest you try to buy fresh, unadulterated, and not too expensive cuts, from ground beef to tri-tip or brisket. A nice rump roast, cut up, can make a big mess of pot roast to feed a family for several days.

My mother served some weird stuff too back in the 50s and 60s. That was then; this is now. It's not that difficult—and much less expensive in the end than buying processed refrigerated or frozen pre-made things—to learn to cook more healthily.

12. No different than Spam or Chicken nuggets, lol

[Celerity]

13. two other things I would never eat, ever, unless somehow I was starving and those were all that was

left

6. Tenderloin, fillet, rib eye; that's about 5% or less of the carcass

If you eat any beef at all beyond those special cuts you are eating lots of stuff, not necessarily bad. It’s just beef. But the highly processed stuff like hot dogs and lunch meat, sausage, etc is when you start getting things that are technically beef, i.e. they come from a cow, but most people wouldn’t call it meat. Same idea for pork.

9. I used to love this when I was a kid

but I haven't had it since then. I haven't even thought of it. I might have to pick some up and make it.

11. I know most folks will ball at "Steakumms"

But dang that brings back memories. My dad, making the two of us sandwiches when we were home together. Probably the first time I'd had a "Cheesesteak" sandwich. I still love them, if only for the memories

15. How to properly cook Steak-umms

I can get real cheesesteak meat where I live but I sometimes prefer Steak-umm as there’s no gristle.
Spray your pan with Pam and throw on a small handful of diced onions. Cook until a little brown. Put your frozen Steak-umms (you need 2 or 3 for a good sandwich) on top. Break them up as they thaw and cook. I like to cook mine very well to get a little caramelization of the meat. Then (this is the important part) blot off the grease with a paper towel. Put cheese on top, mix together so the meat/cheese/onions are all one goopy mess, put on roll and serve. Must be a “good” roll, no squishy white crap.
