Disk-like steak product having a plurality of truncated pie wedge shaped portions

摘要

A steak product is made by cutting a piece of meat which is initially generally in the shape of a parallelepiped along four generally curved first cut lines extending generally parallel to the grain of the meat to remove four corners of the meat and create a meat portion which is cylindrically shaped. The cylindrically shaped meat portion is cut along each of a plurality of parallel second cut lines each generally perpendicular to the grain of the meat and spaced from each other by a first predetermined distance to create a plurality of disk-like generally cylindrical meat portions each having a thickness corresponding to the first predetermined distance and each having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the cylindrically shaped meat portion. At least one of the disk-like meat portions is cut along each of a plurality of third cut lines, each of the third cut lines extending radially inwardly from an outer circumferential edge of the disk-like meat portion toward but not entirely through the axial center of the disk-like meat portion to create an uncut center portion, the third cut lines being circumferentially spaced apart by a second predetermined distance to produce a steak portion having a plurality of generally truncated pie wedge shaped portions held together by the center portion.
