Olefaction ( a jazzy word for sense of smell) is so important when you eat food!
We are still understanding the complexity of this by working with sensory scientists and chefs. Meat is complicated as everything from blood to the caramelization of sugars upon cooking are involved in scent and taste (which are directly linked).
However my research is in the early stages so actually creating the thick ‘steak’ tissue itself and mimicking ‘steaky’ texture is top on my list!
