Woman makes gruesome discovery at steakhouse after instantly noticing something was ‘wrong’

A Western Sydney council says it is investigating the incident

An Australian woman has shared a 'disgusting' find in her steak during a family outing.

The woman, who does not want to be identified, was looking forward to her visit to the Lone Star Rib House Penrith with her husband and son on 10 November for a 'nice meal out'.

At that particular restaurant, steaks can reportedly cost up to $42 (£33.37) and when the mum's order arrived at the table, she instantly noticed that something was 'wrong', as reported by news.com.au.

"I sort of zoomed in, looking at the piece of steak and thought, ‘That’s really odd, there are things moving," she told ABC.

Her husband initially thought it was just the seasoning until he took a closer look. She claimed she then flagged to the restaurant staff that there were maggots in her food.

"[The maggots] were having the time of their life on that piece of steak, and there was not one maggot on the salad," the woman said. "But either way, there should not have been maggots on the plate at all.

"The way I see it there are at least two, maybe three people in that restaurant handling the piece of steak… how did not one of those people notice the steak was moving?"

She claims she was told by staff that they didn't know 'how the maggots came about on the steak', adding: "He also said that the maggots didn't come from the steak, they were actually on the salad."

The woman also claimed she was offered a replacement meal, to which she declined because she was 'grossed out'.

In a statement to ABC, Lone Star said that an independent environmental health officer had promptly conducted a 'thorough assessment' the morning after the woman's visit to the restaurant in response to her complaint.

"Following a thorough assessment, the inspection revealed no areas of concern," the eatery said, adding to the outlet that they would not comment on the video provided to ABC or 'personal views on the venue's hygiene standards'.

In a note from the local council shared with ABC, no flies were seen in the restaurant and 'no evidence relating to complaint'.

The note further said that meat was stored in sealed bagging, while salad was kept in a sealed box with no 'possibility of contamination during assembly'.

A Penrith City Council spokesperson also said: "Council’s inspection is incorporating all aspects — from food received by the supplier, food storage at the business and food preparation.

"Council had previously completed a routine and unannounced inspection at the business on 5 November, which did not identify any concerns."

Meanwhile, the Australian woman said she is still horrified by what happened.

"We were out for a family meal, we were hungry, something really disgusting and inappropriate had happened and no one owned up to that." she added.

"I don't think I can eat beef for a while, it's turned me off. Even cooking at home I feel like I'm cooking the meat a little bit more than I normally would just to make sure I'm killing anything that is potentially in it."

LADbible Group has contacted Lone Star Rib House Penrith and Penrith City Council for further comment.
