People 'will never recover' after worker exposes how steak is made at Subway

While we know what the food from our favorite takeaway looks like when it's ready to be eaten, the making of it is a different story.

However, people who work at these restaurants often lift the lid on the making process to their social media users.

Just in the past few weeks we've seen an employee reveal how McDonald's makes their scrambled eggs - a discovery that shocked much of the internet.

Now, an apparent Subway worker has detailed how steak is made at the popular sandwich chain.

The TikTok account How Food is Made (@howfoodismade) uploaded a short clip in recent days from the perspective of a Subway employee.

The unidentified worker recorded the process of preparing the cups of steak used in the chain's much loved sandwiches.

And after watching the video, many people are stating that they 'will never recover'.

So, what's creating such a reaction?

Well, the video begins with a robotic voice stating: "This is how steak is made at Subway."

At this point we can see a brown, paste-looking substance inside a plastic container - something which will later become the steak.

The short clip then transitions to the next stage of the preparation, the 'paste', which is basically a lump of steak.

You'd think this paste is actually more similar to tuna fish, but that is not exactly the case.

The employee drops the brown contents of the bag into a black plastic container and begins to mould out the mixture together.

Smaller chunk of steaks are then created for the individual sandwiches, carefully measured out at 2.5 oz.

Following that, the 2.5 oz steak portions are placed in a stainless steel container, which the become part of Subway's assembly line and put on the shop floor available for purchase.

"All done fresh is the only way we do it here,” an overlay on the TikTok video explains.

While the TikTok video does a pretty good job of explaining the preparation process, consumers are not impressed.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the video to voice their opinions.

"I will never recover from this," one account commented, while a second added: "I worked at subway and yes this is exactly how ours would come. The tuna would come as a dry block that we had to break up and mix with mayonnaise."

While a third remarked: "As a former Subway employee, y’all don’t know about the tuna."
