Meat compositions are provided that have the capability to successfully char-cook at high temperatures of 700 degrees Fahrenheit and above, consisting of meat, water, textured protein concentrate, water binders, a fat binder/emulsifier/dispersion agent, and salt. The preferred embodiments reproduce the mouth-feel and taste of 100% meat. The invention makes possible high temperature cooking at lower fat content, which is not possible with meats containing less than 19% fat. The preferred embodiment reduces the percentage of fat to a range of 9-11.25%, plus a negligible amount of fat from the non-meat ingredients, and this compares very favorably to 22% fat content stated as the optimum requirement, by the Nieco Company, manufacturer of high temperature broilers. The benefits of the invention are reduced fat content as a dietary consideration, food that is easier to digest, substantial reduction of greenhouse gases, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds caused by char-cooking of meats containing higher fat content, and less overall need for animal meat, which translates into reduced greenhouse gases cause by live animals. The invention contributes to worldwide efforts to reduce global warming.
