Steak lovers told exactly what red liquid that oozes from meat is - and it's not blood

Steak lovers have been told that the red liquid oozing from their rare meat is not actually blood. Those who would rather eat their steak well done usually do so because the 'bloody' appearance of a rare steak puts them off.

However, it's now been revealed that the red liquid is actually something completely different.It's an easy mistake to make, given that it looks and smells like blood.

So what is this mysterious liquid? It's actually myoglobin, a protein responsible for delivering oxygen to an animal's muscles.

This protein only turns red when the meat is cut or exposed to air, and can darken when heated, reports the Mirror.Therefore, the "bloody" steak on your plate is simply cooked at a lower temperature, making the red hue of the myoglobin more pronounced.
