If you go to a lot of fast-food establishments, you know that NUGGETS are having a moment, but that doesn’t mean ANYTHING goes.
Arby’s recently started testing “steak nuggets” in select markets, and that piqued some people’s interest. Especially if they’d be breaded, like real chicken nuggets, only with STEAK in the middle. (Which would be a trip.)
They’re not though, they’re more like “steak bites”, just cubes of meat. You can get them as “nuggets” in a bowl, or in a sandwich. And they’re not cheap. The five-piece is $5, and the nine-piece goes for $9.
The TikTok reviews from influencers are mixed, with the general consensus being: They’re different. They’re surprisingly edible with barbecue or some other sauce. But most people don’t need to have them again.
And the internet doesn’t seem to think “steak nuggets” should be a thing.
Commenters are saying:
“They look like mystery jerky.”
“The nuggets are like the worst burnt ends you have ever had in your life, I couldn’t even get past the smell.”
“They need to go back to the drawing board with this one.”
“Even outside of fast food, I could not imagine a situation where a dish called ‘steak nuggets’ would be a good thing.”
(Here’s one TikTok review, another review, and if you’re okay with PROFANITY, here’s another, and another.)
(Would you be willing to try them out? Or if you have, are you a fan?)
