What Causes Fleshy Substance In Vomit?

I threw up a huge chunk of a meaty type substance at/about 4:30 this morning. I had steak last night for dinner,..however, it doesn t appear to be a piece of steak. It looks like meat but has a stringy texture like string cheese, as well as a very transparent/light reddish color to it. The steak I had consumed was cooked well. Not rare, and was cut into strips to put into flour tortillas. I thew up the alcohol that I drank last night as well as the water I d been drinking throughout the night to keep hydrated. What I threw up consisted 99% liquid, the 1% was the huge chunk of fleshy substance. I m very concerned.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the vomiting due to dyspepsia then undigested food comes expelled out in vomiting and this is nothing to worry, and if the vomiting is due to some GI tract infection or disease then it could be matter of concern, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
