People eating processed "meat" is what's gross.

"Oh, you pan fry it? Well, that's totally okay, then." :crazy:

How is it "processed?"Listen, I'm sure it's not Grade A, but it's just shaved beef. You're eating more processed meat if you eat deli ham.

I EDIT: looks like it is an emulsified steak loaf that is sliced. So similar to most hot dogs.

About once every 5 years, I'll buy a box of steak'ums fry up some peppers and onions, fry up the entire box, glob in a crapload of cheese whiz and a healthy squirt of ketchup and put it on a nice big bun.

So disgusting, yet so good.

Philly cheesesteaks with ketchup are not uncommon in Philly. Adds a nice acid dimension.

Agreed. I love ketchup on my cheesesteak.

:yes: Also tend to throw some bacon in as well.

 
#### yes.

I haven't had them in a few years but you damn well better believe I will be picking up a package when I next go grocery shopping.

 
Lots of people go ketchup on cheesesteaks here in Philly.

I don't get it but I go mayo which I'm sure is equally disgusting.

If I'm making them myself, than it's always A1 steak sauce I use.

I don't know why hoagie joints don't offer this option here. They have it at most Subways

Me too. Hadn't had one in probably 20 years and got a box about a year ago and could not believe how disgusting they were, in every conceivable way. Just horrendous.

Do yourself a favor and next time you do this, put the Steakumms down, buy the equivalent weight in deli roast beef, chop it to desired consistency, and do everything else the same. You'll thank me.

 
i thought they stopped making these after Korea. They weren't as watertight as advertised, and the GI's feet were getting wet and frozen.

Not the same at all. Love me some Roast Beef but it's not the same experience at all.

 
bought them a couple of weeks ago at Target. on a club roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mayo...that's good eating....not healthy eating, but good. I may have been drunk at the time.

True. One is greasy and disgusting and the other actually tastes good. You rough chop some roast beef and throw it in the pan with the onions (and peppers if desired) and fry/brown it off before tossing in the Whiz and you have an infinitely better approximation of a real Philly cheesesteak than you could possibly achieve using Steakumms.

I think I didn't articulate that well. Don't fry up peppers and onions and then put it on rare deli roast beef. Cook the roast beef the same way you do the Steakumms to get it browned and hot first, then add the cheese. It comes out similarly, only light years better. Not only that, but you're getting much better quality meat and for probably the same price or cheaper. Even if it's a little more $$, it's more than worth it.

Exactly. Get some nice red (medium rare) London broil sliced roast beef (Boars Head) and put it in a hot pan....slice up some peppers, onions, mushrooms, provolone cheese....toast up a hoagie roll...smear a tad of mayo on it...chop up some tomatoes too. Put it all together for a hot roast beef melt. I also will dash some A1 on top to finish it off.

Tastes amazing.

Oh I do that...but there's a time and place for Steak Ums too. Like at 3am and I'm going through my fridge/freezer and see a box of faux meat sheets that will fill the void in my belly and I dont have any roast beef on hand.I buy Steak Ums maybe once every 3 years or so, so its not like they're a staple in my freezer...but when they are I enjoy em.

I have had them relatively recently. They were remotely edible but nowhere near as good as I remember them. Will not buy again.

Probably haven't had them in 30 years, but they're just shaved ribeye, right?

I don't know what cuts they use to form these sheets of beef, but there's no way they are wasting ribeye on it. My guess is that it's finely minced/liquified round flattened out into sheets with a binder to hold it all together.

ETA: Nevermind on the binder. All beef baby. Surely round, but beef

More fat and less protein than steak but not as bad as I thought.

I wouldn't get terribly excited.

For people that like them or maybe even can stomach them, they had to develop a liking for it back when their tastes hadn't developed much yet. Be it as a small child or a desperate college student.
