Abstract
A predetermined volume of the face part of a segment of boneless fresh whole-muscle meat (e.g. strip loin, tenderloin, top sirloin butt, or ribeye roll) is positioned in engagement with a stop plate and constrained in a first shaping clamp of given cross-sectional configuration and thickness, and an additional part of the meat segment is constrained in a second shaping clamp of approximately the same cross-sectional configuration, with both shaping clamps solidly filled; cutting the meat segment between the two shaping clamps forms a steak or other meat portion of closely controlled volume and weight.
