Why do steaks and cuts of meat not have blood inside them?

I cooked a chicken breast and while i cut it in half, i noticed that no blood came out of it. Since it is a muscle shouldn’t there be blood inside, no matter how clean the outside it?

Its all drained and washed beforehand.

Fun Fact: the red you see in the bottom of the package of a piece of red meat isn’t residual blood. Its myoglobin (oxygen holding protein) released from the muscle on the cut surfaces due to it being damaged by the knife/blade.
