Scientists have succeeded in growing the world’s first cell-based steak that was created in a lab without causing any harm to cows.
Israeli startup company Aleph Farms says that the lab-grown meat has the exact same texture and smell as that of regular steak.
Though the taste is still fairly similar to the real deal, the researchers want to develop the steak so that it is thicker and identical to the taste of animal steak.The steak prototype currently costs about $50 to make, which the company says is “not insane” compared to the $285,000 price tag of the first lab-grown beefburger that was developed in 2013. Additionally, the steaks are expected to become even cheaper as demand increases and production is expanded to a commercial scale.
The steak has already been put to the test in a real kitchen, too – Amir Ilan, who is a chef at the Paris Texas restaurant in Ramat Gan, Israel, praised the lab-grown achievement.

“Aleph Farms’ steak is thinly sliced and will cook in just a minute or so,” says Ilan. “For me, it is a great experience to eat meat that has the look and feel of beef but has been grown without antibiotics and causes no harm to animals or the environment.
Cell-grown meat is typically grown using a few cells of a living animal,…
