Beyond Meat has announced these new Beyond Steak flavors to provide consumers with a simpler way to elevate their favorite recipes with a touch of plant-based meatiness.
The plant-based steak now comes in Chimichurri and Korean BBQ-Style flavor options, which are both versatile enough to be used in a wide range of recipes. The frozen products contain 20-grams of plant-based protein per serving with one-gram of saturated fat and no cholesterol. This has earned both products certifications from the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check program as well as the American Diabetes Association’s Better Choices for Life program.
Senior Vice President of Sales Drew Lufkin commented on the new Beyond Steak flavors saying, "The original Beyond Steak was a game-changing product, which has been praised for its tender bite, juiciness, and flavor. For those who enjoy the meaty taste and texture of steak but wish to cut down on saturated fat and cholesterol in their diet, we are thrilled to introduce two new delicious, convenient, and heart-healthy varieties of Beyond Steak."
