Steatosis, will probably be hard as fuck when you eat it. I’d bin personally
MetalWhirlPiece
There’s a few cheap tough cuts that you can easily find with that sort of intense, wagyu-like marbling, for example flanken-cut short ribs, and the marbling is still full of the tough collagen.

If it wasn’t for this sub, I would think it was wagyu as well. I’m thinking steatosis but maybe consensus will say otherwise.

Thats wack

“Mom, can we go out for wagyu steak tonight?”
We have wagyu at home:

Steatosis would not cause that kind of marbling. Refer to any picture of a steak with steatosis.
I’m curious what cut this is.
Hansel_VonHaggard
If that’s flat iron they didn’t trim it. That’s all inedible sinew basically. I’ve butchered enough flat irons to know this won’t be a good steak nor is it wagyu. You won’t be happy with it

The underside looks similar to some hamburger I got from Walmart last month that turned out to be pretty bad.

Lot of Wagyu cattle are being harvested right now. The commodity cattle are tight and the packers are chasing the high grade.

Op came here with hope only to be met with the bitter reality of a steak with something I’ve personally never heard of. I’ll pour one out for ya op
medium-rare-steaks
no and not steatosis either. its just a normal flat iron
Logical_Detective736
So is the way to tell by feeling it and the fat is like hard on the outside compared to soft? Hard being steatosis

Fractals are amazing
mrvarmint
But did you sear a strip of it? And how did it taste?
Ka_Hawk
The amount of people answering steatosis incorrectly is mind blowing. Nice find OP!
Dazzling_Side8036
That’s what a decent flat iron looks like.
ImpossibleShoulder29
That looks like flat iron aka top blade. Can be chewy AF. Tasty AF.
algoated666
you should cut off a piece and sear it, i bet it’s amazing !
M0ck_duck
No that’s just a flat iron

People buy steak at Walmart?
gamejunky34
Definitely steatosis, but i wouldn’t throw it away. It’ll still taste like meat… because it’s made of meat.
_LrrrOmicronPersei8_
In case anybody doesnt know, OP seared a piece and its amazing.

This has to be a joke. Op is absurd

Nice flat iron steak! One of my fav steaks!

Hey if it tastes good fuck it right

I loooove flat iron
Then-Ring-3586
I do butchering at a grocery store, when we cut off the end of shoulder clods for these steaks they’ll look like that. Most of the time not that marbled but they do get close frequently
Captain-Codfish
I don’t care if you cut off your penis and it was amazing, that steak has steatosis
CompoteStock3957
Looks like American Wagyu for the price

regardless of what the issue with this cut is, just becuase something has good marbling doesnt mean its waygu. The same way you can get good marbling on a choice steak. There are other factors involved in grading
Alternative_Kale_903
walmart doesn’t have any wagyu 😭, enjoy the steatosis, probably would taste amazing after cutting a piece and searing it tho!

Either wagyu or something “normal” with awesome marbling! Either way it’s good marble so should be a good eat if cooked properly
Spichus
I can’t tell what’s funnier, that people think this is steatosis† or the suggestions to throw it away. Steatosis is not an infectious disease. This guy was just a fat git. OP, ignore the suggestions to do so, the people repeating this have no idea what they’re talking about, they’re just repeating it to sound smart. You absolutely can eat steak where the animal had steatosis, as long as you don’t yourself have a relevant health concern. But this isn’t that.
†no, that’s when the fat content is so high, the fatty tissue becomes dominant. Where you normally have meat with some fat marbled through, with steatosis you have fat with meat marbled through.
AncientAd6500
It’s steatosis. Slice of a strip and sear. Maybe it’s awesome.
AshInMyCoffee
It was $7 dollars. Let OP do what they want with it. Maybe they found a diamond in the rough, but I doubt it. No way a random slab of wagyu made it into the choice section. Just common sense at this point.

Steatosis? Looks off to me.
Despite the marbling, I have a feeling this’ll still be a tough chew
Report back when cooked
Ha ha…no me thinks not.
