I just had an awful steak. Usually when I make steaks they are great, I know how to cook and take great pride in the preperation, seasoning, and grilling of fine cuts of beef. But Walmart meat sucks. It sucks big time.
The cut of beef I cooked up today from Walmart was disgusting. So disgusting in fact that I threw the whole thing out after only eating one bite.
The trouble with Walmart meat is that they insist on adding "up to a 10% solution" to their meats. This is for people who are too stupid or too incompotent at cooking to realize that this ruins the meat. Meat that is supposed to be tender and beefy instead cooks like ham.
I've experienced this problem before with their "tender choice" cuts of pork, which I tried to use for pulled pork, but the solution threw off the whole science behind slow cooked BBQ and my pulled pork was ruined.
Why does Walmart insist on this? Well it has to do with trying to not have to hire butchers and keep everything centralized.
