Today one of my lab mates brought a Bennigan's Beefsteak - an instant hamburger steak in tomato sauce, to be heated in a water bath or microwave. While heating you are rewarded with a mouth watering smell of tomato and spices. The more disappointing is the opening of the bag: a yellowish brownish blob of meat which, i dare to say, likely never saw a frypan up close. The tomato sauce was OK - better then ketchup, but nothing special. The first two things noticed when testing the meat was the lack of any crispiness or frying aroma and even worse, a consistency of a tofu sausage.
If somebody would have told me the i'm eating Tofu at that time, i would have believed it. The total absence of meat aroma made me check the package if there was indeed beef inside. And guess what... there is beef inside!!! stunning 50%. Now my korean isn't good enough to decipher the other ingredients but my guess is that the majority is either pork meat, tofu or bread.
The last nail in the coffin is a price of about 3000 korean won.
Verdict: Not even worth trying.
