That's the thing, it's not that slab of meat laying front of you that's just been roasted to perfection. It's ground up bits that have been cooked and formed together. Ground beef is more civilized than steak, and that's the difference. When I get a nice slab of steak in front of me, my carnal desires are satisfied, mostly anyways. There's still the part of me that wants to go out and club a deer to death and scream about making a fire, but the chunk of meat before me suppresses those urges with the fact that there is just a hunk of dead animal flesh dripping with it's delectable juices off of the charred slivers of fat of a medium well steak. Ground beef... Is mostly just another step into making something with it. A steak is whole, it is eternal, and I am drunk, and buying steak as I type this.
