Steakumms (3 Viewers)

[glvsav37]

Mom and the kids are out of town, dad is left home for the night to fend for himself, and I decided to jump wayyyy back into the "unhealthy things I ate 20 years ago" archive and bring home a few boxes of Steakumms and some nice, thick hoagie rolls

They did not disappoint. That is all.

Steakummms huh?

Too peppery for me. My roommate used to eat those, as you said, twenty-five years ago. Contra your assertion, I think once you’ve had a Philly cheesesteak you can’t really have a Steakummm ever again and not be teasing yourself with bite upon bite of disappointment.

Little cheese drippings of sadness and lament.

eta* don’t let me bind up your party, though. I hope you enjoyed every morsel of malcontentment you could mawkishly muster

oh I don't disagree, but I'm 3+ hours to philly and no real good cheesesteak places nearby. So I generally do without, but tonight.....we party flat and frozen!!

I don’t blame you one bit. Enjoy the goodness.

Grilled onions and peppers as well?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

They’re good but you need like a whole box for a sandwich

lol, forgot about these, basically like thick sheets of paper disguised as meat. Loved them, probably a great example of one of many things I ate as a kid that are the reason why as an adult I have diverticulitis.

Inedible

Sublime

These are a key component of the Mediterranean diet, right?

 

[shuke]

Don't think I've ever had one. My dad used to eat them occasionally, and I just remember the kitchen smelling horrible.

Part of the Lake Erie diet, I believe.

 

[the moops]

Oh man, I haven't eaten meat in almost 30 years, but honestly, I would place Steakumms up in like the top 10 or 15 things I would immediately eat if I started eating meat again. The ****ing nostalgia. In high school (early 90's) my brother and I would come home stoned as **** and destroy some Steakumms together. So good but probably actually definitely so bad

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Murdered steakumms everyday after school. Not sure I could ever eat another.


Also, lol at "unhealthy things I ate 20 years ago"

You mean 30 years ago old man.

I went through a phase of steakumm sandwiches with mayo.

Slice of cheese and plenty of mustard. Perfection.

Did you miss where he said "a few boxes"?

No I saw that part just saying you need a box to make it good 2 boxes now you’re probably looking at a $25 sandwich made from steak slurry

No way this is not a top 5 choice on the Dan Lambskin Top 100 Meat Countdown

I don’t even know the last time I had one. We usually just get the shaved ribeye meat instead

My wife bought me a box two weeks ago as a nostalgia thing since she and my daughter were having something for dinner I didn't want, and like OP, they did not disappoint. I firmly agree with all the good and bad comments in here, but I enjoyed my flashback - the hoagie bun was a good one and I made everything (including some sliced onions I prepped) on the Blackstone. The meal was straight fire, as was my backside the next day.

could you imagine having a Blackstone back in the Steakumm hey-days!!

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

last time I had a Steak-umm was about 10 years ago - they were a treat when I was a kid.

didn't remember the stink - but yeah they did stink, and they fried up to nothing and created a "lake" of grease in the pan

was very disappointed

 

[djmich]

In addition to Steakumms, these bad boys were my go to meals that I would "cook" as a kid. Fortunately, I can't see the back of the packaging for the ingredients on this one.

 

[belljr]

I still buy a box on occasion for nostalgia.....and I can buy authentic cheese steaks at 20 places within 5 miles of my house :

And internet shaming.

 

[Parrothead]

loved them... same with Oodles of Noodles (aka Ramen Noodles).. colllege staples

 

[dickey moe]

Remember the commercials for this but never tried it. Are they basically processed beef versions of fruit rollups?

That’s a new description but yes

 

[Dan Lambskin]

If you really want to treat yourself get some stehouwer's beef sizzlers

If comparing grotesque meat-foods, Spam > Steakumms by a pretty wide margin.

 

[Don Quixote]

Cooked a lot of them on the George Foreman grill back in the day. Somewhere around the Hot Pocket level for cheap, quick eats.

They both have their place. Don't make us decide

 

[the moops]

My dad is and was a terrible cook. However, my dad would sautee up some spam, let it cool down, then coat in pancake batter and fry that **** up and damn that was good

Where do Vienna sausages rank? They were a cupboard staple during my 1970s childhood.

 

[Payne]

Though it is frustrating when you get the box where they stick together due to poor paper divider quality control.

 

[Gally]

We usually just get the shaved ribeye meat instead

There are a couple of these products I found in the store that we tried recently that were good. Quick and easy and the quality was much better than expected.

Steakumms & Elios pizza were staples in my youth. Haven’t had either in 20 plus years. Going to pick up both this week for nostalgia

Make sure you burn the ever loving **** out of the roof of your mouth with that Elios

I liked Steakumm as a kid but I just can't get over the smell and the specific grease taste it has as an adult.

Elios, on the other hand, I've had multiple times as an adult and enjoyed. Somehow the cardboard-style taste still largely works, even though you'd never confuse it with good pizza.

Guys, I love cheesesteaks and steakumms have their place but, for real, buy the legit shaved ribeye, season it correctly, grill on a Blackstone or similar flat top with fried onions and a good sharp American cheese (Cooper, if possible) and you got an actually delicious cheesesteak.

 

[Osaurus]

Dang. Those beef sheets were a staple of my white trash childhood.

A subpar roll will ruin it

The bread is just as important

Agreed. But those of us in other areas of the country have to do our best. I still enjoy my homemade cheesesteaks even if I' just resorting to the local bakery's hoagie roll.

*Oddly, I enjoy them as well with the bit pricier brioche hot dog buns.
