Would you eat a steak that fell on your kitchen floor . . . ?

During preparation for a braised steak meal, the roasting pan which contained two braising steaks
and onion gravy ended up at a diagonal angle between the oven and the kitchen floor, and the
entire contents of the pan went ... you guessed it ... all over the aforementioned kitchen floor.

What would you do? Rinse the steaks, make some fresh gravy, and put the steaks back in the
pan to cook, or sling the steaks in the bin and put a couple of fresh ones in the pan to cook?

Throwing them in the bin, and putting fresh ones in the pan might be a few quid wasted, but then
attempting to cook steaks that've been on the floor carries a risk of food poisoning does it not?

My kitchen floor is pretty clean buy I still couldn't eat anything that fell on it. Nothing to do with food poisoning, its just wrong IMO.

really depends on the state of your kitchen floor. I would was them off and cook them. The cooking process should kill any bateria.

I don't think I could move as fast as my dogs so wouldn't have a chance to make a decision

Our kitchen floor has probably the same amount of bacteria as most other linoleum covered kitchen floors.
We don't have any dogs (or cats, or any type other domesticated animals) in the house these days.

I'd clean it with water, put it back to cook. Heat would kill anything that stuck to the meat even after washing.

Nope, just find steak awful. Doesn't matter what way it's cooked it always tastes bland and has the texture of a leather shoe.

I would generally say 5 second rule for stuff falling on the floor, depends how clean the floor was though lol.

In times of economising I can't really afford to waste food so certainly I would wash it off and make new gravy and as someone else said reheating to help kill any bacteria. Unless it was completely wrecked I wouldnt throw anything away.

Same here. Unless I had to fight a dog for it, then I'd let the dog win. I draw a line there

A leather shoe? you need to find someone that can cook it properly. There is either the fast cooked rump or a very slow cooked braising steak that falls off the bone. Neither leather cooked well.

do you like lamb?

lol you need to get better cook or get a better quality steak. I would say steak is far from bland.

Now on the subject I would eat the steak if I was faster than the dog.

Not braising steak, no.

Rump, fillet or sirloin, yes.

Mine will always say I'll eat that bit as he knows I'll put it in the bin and share whats left. We have 4 cats running in and out of our kitchen though. If I'd no animals I'd be much less likely to bin it.
