Beyond Meat has expanded its beef substitutes portfolio with the introduction of a plant-based alternative to seared steak tips.

Containing 21g of protein per serving, Beyond Steak can be used to make dishes such as fajitas, tacos, stir fries, sandwiches and salads.

The product comes seared and chopped into pieces and aims to emulate the “juicy, tender” bite of its meat counterpart.

Beyond Meat chief innovation officer, Dariush Ajami, said: “Beyond Steak is a highly anticipated expansion of our popular beef platform and we’re proud to introduce this innovative product to consumers nationwide”.

“Beyond Steak delivers the taste and texture of sliced steak in a way that is better for both people and the planet.”

According to Beyond Meat, the new frozen offering can be prepared in a skillet or air fryer in five minutes, is low in saturated fat and contains 0mg of cholesterol.

Beyond Steak is launching at Kroger and Walmart stores across the US and will also be available from other retailers.
