Since when does "finely sliced" steak equal hamburger?

Bought a box of so called steaks and they weren't cheap. In big, big letters STEAK. Looking at the box later, it said "finely sliced." Now since it was round pieces of meat wrapped in bacon, one would assume that it was finely sliced into this "round state.

However, it is nothing more than hamburger surrounded by a pieces of bacon that don't even hold together. When buying hamburger in the US, at least the amount of fat within it is displayed. This says nothing.

False advertising? I think so. I'll be calling the manufacturer on Monday and returning the box to the store that sold it to me at the height of the day when more people can see that they are selling fake goods.

Not much difference between this and low grade ground beef but the price. When one buys ground meat, it's impossible to tell where all it's been, the floor, the drain, etc. Also, ground meat has generally a higher bacteria rate because of the surface area.

    read the USDA,,,,,,,i am with you,,,but you gotta read that

    or better yet dont buy **** in a box

    USDA has guidelines,,,but,just like the rest of the Fed Gov,,,,,its kinda screwed up,,,,truely have to like the safety parts but..............

    my advise is get a real butcher or find a store that obliges

    i have that fortune and do not take that privaldge lightly

    smaller grocery stores still offer that service as free,,,,,sure yer gonna pay a biit more for the original product but it worth every dime as you put it to the grill,frying pan,oven etc........
