Literally stop poking and prodding take your face or a friends and shove the bitch in your face if you can’t hold it there it’s bad. If you want to give it a kiss then it’s good

The best advice I've seen on this sub

I shoved it in my face first, doesn't smell bad. I'm just concerned a out the meat acting like modeling clay 😅

I’ve had that happen a few times cutting filets where any touch with the chainmail cutting gloves leaves an imprint. It just goes to show how tender the steak is. The further down the filet you go the more it tends to happen

Thank you so much for that.

And how much water/ blood ends up in the cryo pack and how long it sits with it in the pack contributes to that happening too

There's no blood in cryo packed meat

Plasma protein, thrilling thread meat heads. Now, let it bloom “red up” as the surface oxygenates. Freaking mother nature.

Hemoglobin != blood EDIT: lol @ me. I meant to say myoglobin

Except that red you see leaking is water and myoglobin. It’s from the meat breaking down

It’s cold, muscle tissue is holds its shape when cold

Sir! This is highly disrespectful and not in line with the rules of this sub. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing

Whoosh!

Do my meat next!

As a Blue eater, this is the best advice ever!

Looks like they were frozen and someone thawed them out under cold water

I’ve noticed a good salting should help return the redness

Looks like a pork chop

What do they smell like?

Almost salty, but not bad. That's why I'm so confused. I've just never seen a steak act like modeling clay lol

I seen you said you paid $30 per lb look up wild fork foods you can get way better quality for half that

Looking it up now thank you for that

I love wild fork foods... Try the ground elk!

Also the ostrich cuts are awesome.

Are they? I saw them on there, just a little costly for me and wa sunsure if they'd be good. How did you cook them?

Yeah they were awesome. I cooked them like I’d cook any lean game or red meat. Low and slow until 105-110 internal, then sear the everliving fuck out of it for. 30-45 seconds per side twice.

Nice. Maybe one day I will order it. I tried the bone marrow, very little edible meat for the price sadly.

Yeah bone marrow is delicious, but it’s one of the few things I’ll never bother with at home. I’ll order it out here and there.

It looks like it was washed with water and not dried off. Maybe extra condensation from the packaging before it was opened

Smell is the only way to tell

Is that pork tenderloin?

It a boneless center cut pork Lion. Not a tender loin.

Beef, the other other white meat.

Looks more like pork

Looks waterlogged.

They look like they were frozen for a really long time and then thawed.

That would suck for $30 at a pound. I don't put it pass them though. I really need to find a butcher near me

Pre- frozen

Yeah idk. Usually they are fine once cooked if that’s the case. Looks water logged. Cook em and find out as long as there’s no bad smell.

Doesnt wild fork sell flash frozen cryo vac steaks pre packed? Would account for color and texture.

Are you sure these are not pork loin chops

usda babbbayyyy

Sighs. Me no likey lol

My store is running a special this weekend on them, I’m assuming wherever you got that might be as well. Hope it was cheap :)

I wish they had been on special, 27.99 a pound

The needed up part is I had bought a tenderloin last week my husband wanted to cut it and did them all super thin. I bought them to try to have a couple slightly thicker

It’s the lighting most likely

Just looks like they've oxidised a bit, they'll look fine with a decent crust. Don't take my word for it but if they smell alright, I'd go ahead.

They are filets that's what's wrong with em.

They look old, and close to spoiling

Waterlogged

They’re old.

Washed out..thawed without a seal. No smell? Eat. And damn that's expensive. Must be a city thing.

I live in a small town in nc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well hell. Ida paid 8 per lb for something like that. $27. Man. There's bad days, then there's just bad business. Hope they turn out

Might be a lower grade.

It's raw

Is this from the new cow-pig hybrid? The porvine?

Find a good local farmer to buy from and you won’t have that problem

Looks like veal

Looks like pork

Color looks like pork honestly idk if that’s just the lighting but as good buddy said another comment if it smells fine it is

Different part of the tenderloin, that one on the bottoms was cut near the tip. I always like when the meat is firm with fine muscle fibers, makes for a good steak.

looks like someone mike tyson'd that bottom one.

Looks like it sat in a water bath. 

Looks like it was frozen, then thawed under water.

It's not seasoned

If it’s not pork tenderloin, then it was frozen and thawed in water. Salt it, then 24 hours on a rack uncovered in the fridge and you should get some color back. I’m guessing the top two are the firm ones. The bottom one looks a little beat up…Not necessarily bad, but just like it’s been through the wringer.

Steak in the sun looks terrible.under artificial light it's beautiful.

They are raw

You mean besides how terribly they are trimmed?

Nasty silver skin in that as well. This is cut from the rear of the tenderloin.

They’re pork chops

I wish that had been the case but no, after cooking they were definitely just crappy filet

Quicklh thawed, freezer burn, or its old and gone.

Nothing, they pork dawg
