Made With Plants, an Australian brand that is well and truly committed to advancing the mission of plant-based foods that are accessible, affordable and absolutely delicious, is launching a plant-based vegan steak that is the result of extensive research and development.
This particular vegan steak happens to be made with wheat gluten or seitan, which is prized as being a source of protein that is also very low in fat. The wheat gluten used by Made With Plants was crafted by using special flour and water, leading to a dough that can be elevated with seasonings and cooked and enjoyed like a steak.
What's more, this vegan steak is said to offer not just the delicious taste of a sirloin but even the visual and textural appeal of marbling. "We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to indulge in the rich, comforting taste of steak," noted the brand's co-founder Cale Drouin. "Made With Plants Meat Free Steak offers the best of both worlds, providing a guilt-free, mouth-watering alternative for meat lovers."
