DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The present invention is directed to a method for producing ready-to-be-consumed room temperature stable ground, cooked, and seasoned beef that is vacuum packed in a plastic tray, said method being especially developed to avoid the refrigeration of the packed beef, that is, which is produced to be supplied steady and ready to be consumed at room temperature, therefore, it is a product that does not require any sort of special care for keeping its original characteristics, does not require any refrigeration, and is ready to be consumed, and it should only have to be heated conventionally (stove, oven or microwave). [0003] 2. Background of the Invention [0004] Recently, the industry of consumption products realized that the acceleration of the modern life, caused by new technologies, created a new consumer who is basically characterized by the lack of time. [0005] Without having enough time to feed correctly due to the complex working schedule and complementary tasks such as study, body fitness, specialized courses and so on, this new consumer has created changes of behavior, habits and attitudes that are not necessarily accompanied by the state of the art industries, that, by adjusting or creating new products, focus on the needs of this consumer without enough time for anything. [0006] Thus, it is that in the food industry, particularly, several products have been devised, such as the coffee that is heated in the can it is contained into, by depressing a button in the bottom one of the package, among others. In fact, there are tens of examples of package that fulfill the consumer needs, such as products and packages generated by the feeling of "not eating food correctly" that this type of consumption provokes in the people. This feeling has brought forth an excessive increase of the consumption of ready to be consumed natural or semi-natural products, or prepared in such a way that they can be easily preparation at home, office or any other place, for example, by using microwave. [0007] However, especially food manufacturers and producers also know that one of the highest requirements of the consumers is the fact that the "ready-made dishes", after being prepared (heated in an regular oven or a microwave oven) by the consumer, should have characteristics as close as possible to those of a recently prepared meal, that is, having a flavor equivalent to that of the dishes the consumer himself/herself prepares at home, without the so-called `industrial flavor`. [0008] For the manufacturers of the "ready-made" food products, another required condition is the need to refrigerate and/or freeze the products throughout the whole chain, from the manufacture, transportation and storage to the exposition for sale, thus aiming at assuring the maintenance of the original characteristics and quality of the same, delaying the microbiologic, enzymatic and physical-chemical degradation process. Without the above-mentioned cold chain, most of the ready-made products become improper for consumption in a short while. [0009] Thus, worried about the ever-growing ready-made food market, the manufacturers have been trying to associate practicability to the nutritional quality in one and the same product, mainly assuring the preservation factors of the same, from the moment they are manufactured to the moment they are delivered to the consumer. [0010] Still available in the state of the art and in the sense of presenting packages that can be preserved without refrigeration, the consuming public has already being allowed to use packages that are made of a partially or fully transparent flexible material known as "pouches", designed to pack meat under vacuum, so that the products are preserved at room temperature for a long time. This "pouch", already widely used all over the world, means reduction in the cost of transport and storage. However, as an inconvenient, this type of package, in view of using vacuum, many times compresses the product in such a way that it is visually deformed, thus interfering with the commercial appeal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0011] After analyzing the state of the art and the needs of the market, the applicant, operating in the area of food products, has developed a new method for manufacturing ready-to-be-consumed room temperature stable ground, cooked, and seasoned beef that is vacuum packed in a plastic tray, said method being especially developed to avoid the refrigeration of the packed beef, that is, produced to be supplied stable and ready to be consumed at room temperature. [0012] In a way to better elucidate the objects of this invention, a summary of the steps related to the method in question is given below, to be detailed later on: a) receiving the raw meat; b) receiving the inputs; c) lung chamber; d) grounding; e) refrigeration silo; f) seasoning mixing; g) Roaster; h) X-rays; i) weighing and packaging; j) sterilization and incubation; k) Cooling; and 1) secondary packaging. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] To complement the present description in order to get a better understanding of the characteristics of the present invention and in accordance with a preferred practical accomplishment thereof a set of drawings is attached to the present specification, wherein the following is represented in an exemplary but not limiting way: [0014] FIG. 1 illustrates the flowchart of the novel method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0015] The present invention is related to a new method for producing ready-to-be-consumed room temperature stable ground, cooked, and seasoned beef that is vacuum packed in a plastic tray, and more particularly the manufacturing method comprises the following steps; [0016] 1) Receiving the meat: the products come from duly qualified agencies and are certified by the government agency responsible therefor; the meat is examined by Federal Inspectors and then by a duly qualified quality control employee of the company; the inspections are carried out in a suitable environment for such inspection in accordance with international standards; the whole inspection is duly recorded in time sheets and checked by qualified superiors for such purpose, wherein: [0017] 1.1) the hygiene and temperature conditions of the vehicle duly able and qualified for the transportation of such refrigerated are checked, as well as the hygiene conditions and the packages thereof, wherein the meat is first subject to a qualitative evaluation of the raw meat, where the following is verified: [0018] 1.1.1) the receiving of the meat duly conditioned in plastic packages bearing the information on the producer. [0019] 1.1.2) the manufacture and expiration dates. [0020] 1.1.3) the integrity of the packages.
