Its usage is easy to spot in most beef as it produces a distinctive striping of fatty tissue.

Korean beef has a distinctive flavor (and now they start sounding like wine connoisseurs). It’s nutty and sweet, and very chewy. If I’m right it comes from the stomach.

From my understanding, that “nutty” taste is from clembutorol. Its usage is easy to spot in most beef as it produces a distinctive striping of fatty tissue. It’s also imported in very large quantities in Korea, according to an Asia-Pacific pharmaco expert I know.
