Alright, full disclosure -- I eat meat. A lot of it. I love a good steak, a juicy burger, and don't even get me started on bacon. But, like any self-respecting part-time chef who spends entirely too much time monitoring food trends online, I couldn't ignore the plant-based wave crashing over the food scene.
Admittedly, when I heard about the latest Beyond Meat product, Beyond Steak, I was curious.
Could plant-based steak really hold its own against the juicy, tender cuts I know and love? Spoiler alert: it did, and it did so with heart-healthy nutrition that made me rethink what a good steak can be. Made with simple, clean ingredients, Beyond Steak is not only delicious but also a great source of protein with 21 grams per serving -- plus, it's low in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, GMOs, antibiotics, and hormones.
