If McDonald's burgers are 100% beef, why don't they taste like steak?

Question

If McDonald's burgers are 100% beef, why don't they taste like steak?

Answer 1

cause it has prolly been freeze dried and everything. its mcdonalds. what do you expect?

Answer 2

they don't because of all the other extras. have you seen "fast food nation"? Horrifying.

Answer 3

It's not exactly high quality.

Answer 4

because beef isn't the same as steak.

plus the fry them and grease them so much

Answer 5

This is funny because. "100% beef" is the name of the company that makes Macdonald's beef/burgers. Doesn't necessarily mean the burgers are 100% beef just cause that is the name of the supplier

Answer 6

Beef refers to the animal, not the meat alone. Capice?

Answer 7

They aren't 100% beef. And even if it was, McDonald's uses a different part of the cow than most steaks (that's why you can get them on the Dollar Menu ;-).

Answer 8

This is Tom's favorite question.

They can spray on whatever you want it to taste like, just before serving.

They sprayed on the flavor you are experiencing now.

Answer 9

Steak comes from very particular parts of the cow; you can still be 100% "beef" and from much less desirable parts if you get my drift.

Answer 10

i think its not really grilled like bk because it taste more homemade

Answer 11

it isnt "fresh"

Answer 12

Because the grease and bugs get in the way

Answer 13

I don't think I've ever had a burger from anywhere that tastes like steak

Answer 14

What fast food joint if any serves hamburgers that tast like stake? None. If you want a steak burger, go to Jack In The Box & order their Angus Burger.

Answer 15

-it aint fresh

-its the cheapest meat they can find

-they mix cow intestines and stuff with it to make it cheaper

Answer 16

McDonalds is fake! sure it is good... but it is fake

Answer 17

They don't even try to pretend that it's ground sirloin or ground round (much less Fillet Mignon). If it is, in fact, 100% beef, it's the bottom of the barrel beef.
