Pulled some sirloins out the freezer, they've been in for about 4 months. Noticed this green on the fat. Any idea what it is? Is it a stamp or could it be something else? They've been vacuum sealed the whole time and the rest looks ok.

That my child, is what we call “steak sweat” it is completely healthy and WILL DEFINATELY NOT give you food poisoning and possibly kill you 😚😚
It does look a bit like a stamp to me, but impossible to tell for sure. I’d smell it, and if it smells fine I’d just cut that part off.
Inspection stamp most likely. Its a dye made from blueberries and completely harmless. Your cut came from the area the inspectors marked that it passed its inspection.
Im a butcher. We occasionally get meat like that to cut and it’s dye. They stamp the meat. Harmless. They try to stamp on the fat because it doesn’t bleed and it won’t come off easily or blend with the red meat.
As a butcher we get the entire racks of strip steak and cut them into individual steaks. They put the stamps on the top of the rack where all the fat is and that’s where it’s located on your steak. You just happened to get one of the steaks from the section that was stamped.
Not botulism.
ur steak is zombie now
Ah yes, I’ve seen that type of steak before. Eleven times, in fact.
Green Cow Disease, for sure. Consumption will turn you completely green inside and out, which is a super not cool color to be.
Do not heed the lies of any false butcher who sells you empty promises of “stamped” meats. These are thinly veiled attempts on your wallet at best, and your very life at worst.
irish steak
That’s the food poisoning /s
Here in Argentina it’s pretty common to see dye, but they use dark purple which definitely lets you know it’s man made, I don’t know why would anyone ever use a green dye!
Idk, but you have what appears to be a *tiny baby kitten* on the other piece of meat to the left, eat at your own discretion.
Chimichurri
