[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 571387, member: 4362"] Is there such a thing as fabricated filet mignon? Reason I ask is my MIL gave us some filet mignon that she bought on the QVC. She's one of the ladies who is known on a first name basis on the show. :roll: Sweet lady, means well but can't really understand why she bought steaks for us. Anyhow, I thawed them out and got to looking at them and something just didn't look right. The small specks of marblins were coming out of the meat like little worms. Gave me the impression the fat was injected into the meat somehow. Meat itself didn't exactly look right either. Too uniform of marbling and the texture and fibers just didn't look right. I cooked them and the came out tender as can be BUT the meat didn't bite right. No longer fibers in the meat. It was as if they had ground the meat up somehow and pressed it back together like sausage then wrapped bacon around it and shot it with ground fat so it would look like it was prime marbling. I will say the meat was good but it was not great. It would make fine sandwich meat but its not what I call steak quality. Ever heard of anything like this? Do they actually make man-made steaks?
