You've NEVER had a VEGAN STEAK Like THIS! (NOT SEITAN)

I recently came across a TikTok of people turning ground meat into a "fake" steak! I thought, why couldn't I do the same thing with vegan meat? So I whipped up a quick plant based mince and used a few other plant based techniques I had up my sleeve to come up with a pretty incredibly first go at a meaty vegan steak!

Freeze the fat in lines, this may stop the soy absorbing it as it heats and before it sets. Also have you tried mushroom powder as one of your ingredients? Connies rawsome kitchen uses that in her “meats”. If you have not seen her channel I highly recommend it

[@SauceStache]

@David Chaplin dysfunction*

[@carolynblakeney966]

@David Chaplin unfortunately most adult humans are omnis, not vegans. And most of those omnis are deficient in B12 because factory farming has destroyed the natural feeding regimen of non-human animals exploited for "food". So it stands to reason that those omni adults relying on non-human animal exploitation for B12 are most at risk. Many vegans already supplement or consume foods that contain B12 supplements. A B12 supplement once or twice a week is recommended for all adults over 50, even those who eat out of the slaughterhouse.

And yet it still looks nothing like meat. Deluded vegans claim that there newest plant based steak tastes EXACTLY like meat- and the only reason they think this is because they’ve become so far detached from actual meat.

[@boarbot7829]

@@TUG657 yes vegan steak is an oxymoron: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages Search for a word steak /steɪk/ noun high-quality beef taken from the hindquarters of the animal, typically cut into thick slices that are cooked by grilling or frying.

I just had an idea for wagyu. If you get a fine mix of the 'beef' and a little of the fat and spread it out thin for an outer coating. Then use a water bottle ice mold to form the 'beef' into rectangular or if they have long semi-circular or both. Have a layer of the meat on top of the outer layer then layer in the fat then put more of the meat. As well as some of the riced meat to give the different look. Then wrap and cook the same way you did. idk if this would work but its my first draft of the idea lol. Love the videos

I'm not a vegan either. I did try his rice paper bacon (2nd recipe) and it tasted okay but not like bacon.

[@dr_alejandro]

Most of them taste pretty good and they have helped me with removing meat from my diet. The one downside I will say is that some of them enter the uncanny valley of food. Where it inches pretty close to it without being it and those are the ones I haven't been able to do. Just messes with me and I can't eat it. I am realizing that there is a line for me where I can add meatiness to the non-meat dishes and enjoy it, and if I go over that line, I dislike it. Which I believe is main reason I can't do impossible burgers.
