tell me.... why would anyone pollute a perfectly grilled piece of beef
with:

tomato puree (water, tomato paste,), distilled vinegar, corn syrup, salt, raisin paste, crushed orange puree, spices and herbs, dried garlic and onion, caramel color, potassium sorbate (to preserve freshness), xanthan gum



seriously.... isn't some salt, pepper, and maybe some fried onions enough?

2. Perhaps because the beef wasn't all that perfect in the first place...
...and the manufacturer added all that garbage in a vain attempt to make their carrion taste like food. Presumably, it takes a lot of filler to hide the taste of factory-farmed artificiality.
