      Hah! Yeah, his content is definitely all a bit samey, but I still enjoy it... even though I don't even eat red meat anymore. :P

    The word steak hit semantic satiation about halfway through that video.

    From a commercial potential viewpoint though, I could see this possibly hitting shelves as a steak seasoning blend. There are boatloads of steak/smoking/bbq seasonings out there and at an industrial scale it could be done pretty quickly. You don't even need to season and the steak you're turning to dust. Just cook it, then mix with already dried/ground spices and salt. Say take some ground beef, cooked in massive quantities, freeze dry, mix with dried garlic, dried thyme, salt, and bottle it.

      I feel like at that point you’re basically just making pemmican at industrial scale. Which isn’t a terrible idea. Like bonito flakes for prairie locavores.

        I think this will be the #1 marketing point made for it.
