So what is the difference between "Vegas strip steak". " "Kansas City strip" and "New York strip"? I like you, have never heard of some of the steaks that are available. Isn't a" Porterhouse" the same as a "T bone"?.................MO
It all depends what cut they come from. vegas=chuck, KC=?, NY=loin.
Porterhouse and t-bone are NOT the same. porterhouse is center cut from the loin and t-bones are from the ends of the loin.
Google is my friend....

Mario, you probably know the Scotch fillet by the name "Rib-Eye". It's a lovely cut to eat, and my choice closely behind Eye Fillet.
yes, the ribeye is the MeatMan's cut of choice. best steak bar-none
SHE rubs it before I put it in
haven't heard anyone talk about "fake" steak yet , do you guys even know about what you're being served ?
we had a huge scandal over here when people discovered they were not getting fillet steak when they bought "fillet steak "
apparently there are no laws over there making them tell you what you're buying

I have heard of pig/beef blood as a binder, but not in a steak. they sometimes use it in certain sausages. ie morcilla which is beef blood sausage
I think what your link is referred to as "pink slime" in the USA. Commanly used as filler in hamburger and other meats. I know our grocery store sells a bacon wrapped , what looks like fillet mignone.. Tough as shoe leather. A resturant probably could tenderize it , and sell it as the real thing................MO
LFTB (lean, finely textured beef ie "pink slime") is ONLY used in ground beef in the US. it is very highly regulated (even before the scandal) and contrary to popular belief, it IS meat. see, the slaughterhouses need to sell every part of the animal no matter how small and LFTB is part of that. they use an approved ammonia mixture in a tumbler to separate the very small pieces from the bones of cuts that a knife cannot get to. so basically LFTB are trimmings, which is what ground beef anyways. they do not waste anything. we "sell everything but the squeal (or moo)." lol
the "shoe leather" filet that your store sells is probably a lower grade like cow which is very lean and dries out very quickly when cooked.
