No and no.

Does it say on the package that it definitely comes from a cow

I don't eat meat but I wouldn't buy it for my family.

I've seen them before. There might be multiple suppliers depending on local distribution. I remember the ones I saw claimed to be ribeye, but when I saw them in the freezer they were extremely thin. Maybe 4 oz, and the packaging said that there was various stuff added including water.

There are a lot of things I'll get at a dollar store. I've seen great bargains on eggs and dry packaged foods. But meat there is just odd. I tried some burgers once and they were funky. I really wanted to break them up for ground beef, but they were kind of made with some sort of binding agent.

Good god no.

70% cow. The rest is pumped with water.

I would not eat a $1 steak from anywhere.

Not on a bet.

Well, maybe on a bet. But there would have to be a lot of money involved.

all right so I'll go first. Yes, I did buy them. I have two teenage boys who, as we all know, will eat anything not tied down. And mine have been known to just eat things still tied down.

They wouldn't eat these steaks. And I don't blame them one bit! They looked very gross cooking in the pan. They are extemely thin and let off an odd smell/color while attempting to cook. Never again!

 

[kimblebee]

Um, no.

I've used bromelain before. It leaves meat with kind of an odd taste, and possibly makes the meat really mushy if left too long. I wonder how long it's left before it's frozen.

No and no

 

[CookieandOatmeal]

Nope. I rather use that $1 to buy a tasty ice cream twix bar lol. I do buy their eggs for a science experiment I do with my students every year. Can't beat 8 eggs for a $1!

Well, now I have a candidate for that "needle in my eye" thread.

The net weight of that is 3.5 oz of beef. So would I pay $1 for beef so bad it had to be pounded and put in a solution to be tenderized or would I pay $1.75 for 3.5 ounces of choice grade ribeye on sale at Publix? Obviously I'm not going to get 3.5 oz at Publix. But I can always cut the bigger steaks they sell into portions about the same size if I wish.
I think I'll stick with Publix.

Only if I had enough toilet paper

I tried one once from Acme supermarket. It may have been the brand in the photo above. Yeah, I realized it would probably be crap and it was. They have other dollar meat and fish portions too.

Plenty of "hams" have 30% (or more) water and other ingredients. Those are just as disgusting.

$1.75 for 3.5 ounces? $ 6.63 a pound? Wow THAT is a bargain. Ribeye is about $12 a pound on sale here.
