The large food distributors; SYSCO/USFOODSERVICE have been trying to popularize the use of re-formed beef steaks for the past few years. They are made using "cold-set binding agents" that are largely carrageenan based. This allows them to take "bi-product" from whole muscle areas and "bind" them together in shapes suitable to the consumer. It's not just the McRib and QSR's, you may be eating "shaped meat" at a white table cloth restaurant one day.
