Answer A Sounded more human
To make beef steak taste like tofu, you'd need to strip away its savory umami flavors. Soak the raw steak in multiple changes of plain water for several hours or overnight to leach out the proteins and flavor compounds, then cook it gently (poaching or steaming rather than searing) without any seasoning, salt, or browning—which would reintroduce taste. You could also heavily pound it to denature the proteins and break down its structure. The result won't truly taste like tofu, but it will be remarkably bland and closer to it than a normally cooked steak would be.
Answer B
To strip beef of its rich flavor, thoroughly leach out its myoglobin, iron, and fats by repeatedly soaking and simmering a lean cut in water until the liquid runs clear. Next, treat the meat with a baking soda bath (alkalinization) to break down muscle fibers into a soft, gelatinous texture while neutralizing lingering savory aromas. Blend the stripped beef into a fine paste alongside unsweetened soy milk to introduce tofu's subtle bean notes. Finally, bind the mixture with transglutaminase (meat glue), press it into a mold, and steam it until it sets into a soft, spongy block. You've successfully used high-level food science to convert a prime cut of meat into a bland block of bean curd.
