Steak Specialists Discover a New Cut of Beef

[Catbird]

Gizmodo:

"A self-proclaimed Meat Geek has teamed up with Oklahoma State University to devise the first new style of steak in years.

"The Vegas Strip Steak is the latest and perhaps last steak to be found from the beef carcass...

The steak itself weighs in at about 14 ounces and can be portioned out as small as 4 ounces. The taste, tenderness, and flavor are reportedly akin to a New York Strip or Flat Iron cut.

...Most interesting is the fact that this new cut of meat apparently counts as intellectual property, replete with its own licensing and a patent on the cut's fabrication. Mata and Gresh have yet to reveal where, exactly, the cut comes from..."

Steak as intellectual property? WTH?

I'd love to know how they will enforce that.
