The invention relates to a device (1) for shaping strip-shaped foodstuff (2), in particular a piece of meat (3), having a) a pressing chamber (18) which is limited by walls (20) and one of which can be moved by means of a pressing device (21, 22, 23, 24) and is designed as a pressing stamp (28, 29, 30, 31), whereby the pressing chamber (18) can be transferred from an initial state with a first enclosed volume to a final state with a second enclosed volume, b) a feed device (15) for feeding the foodstuff (2) into the pressing chamber (18), c) a discharge device (16) for discharging the foodstuff (2) from the pressing chamber (18). In order to provide a device characterised by having a particularly compact structure, a pressing stamp (28) of a first pressing device (21) that comes into contact with the foodstuff (2) located in the pressing chamber (18) is coupled to at least one second pressing device (22) movable in another direction and/or a wall (20) of the pressing chamber (18) in such a way that the second pressing device (22) as a whole and/or the aforementioned wall (20) can be moved together with the pressing stamp (28) of the first pressing device (21) relative to the foodstuff (2). The invention also relates to a method for forming strip-shaped foodstuff (2), in particular a piece of meat (3).
