This is the concerning moment a slab of raw beef appears to pulsate.

Social media users have said are considering turning vegetarian after watching the disturbing footage.

Some suggested the zombie steak was infested with maggots which give it a pulsating effect.

The footage was taken in China's Shandong Province where a woman thought the slab of meat was "beating" like a heart.

After watching the video, Facebook user Jake Ganymede said: "I am turning into an vegetarian after this."

Chinese news outlet CCTV shared the footage on their Facebook page where it has now been viewed thousands of times.

The description quipped: "Understandably horrified at the situation, [the woman] chose to record the event, rather than eat it."

In March, Mirror Online reported on a zombie cuttlefish which 'danced' when it came into contact with soy sauce.

In that case, however, the soy sauce's high salt levels create contractions in the fish's muscles.
