Beyond Meat's Beyond Steak Filet replicates the taste, texture and nutritional benefits of conventional beef steak with ingredients like mycelium, faba bean protein, and avocado oil. While the formula's avocado oil is responsible for helping to achieve the high smoke point necessary for caramelization during searing, other plant-powered ingredients create the "bleeding" effect that Beyond Meat products are associated with. Nutritionally, the Beyond Steak Filet delivers 28 grams of protein per serving, making it a worthy option for plant-based diners and flexitarians who want to enjoy a familiar experience with ingredients that are better for people, animals and the planet.
Beyond Meat's plant-based steak product can now be found in a traditional steakhouse setting, BOA Steakhouse, where it's served alongside Club Room Style Steak Frites for a premium dining experience.
