Carne Asada Steaks

I don't enjoy a lot of meat substitutes regularly but from time to time it's nice to try. This one has clean ingredients and based on #mushrooms so it passed the ingredients list. No seed oils either. But the texture and taste wasn't very exciting to me at all. I honestly never ate steak in my life so I never missed it. But this was too chewy for me in a wet cardboard kind of way. The flavor was also pretty bland. I tossed it in a bowl with a bunch of other things and it was tolerable however I wouldn't buy it again. In my opinion tofu and tempeh are almost always better than meat substitutes in terms of texture, taste and nutrition. What's your favourite? #steak

I was really excited about trying this brand and it was so horrible :( I paid $12 USD, just to throw it out. Firstly. the cooking instructions want you to cook them for so long (it was something like 20 minutes). It looked amazing but when I cut into one the texture was really gross, almost like playdoh, nothing like the photo on the box. It seemed like the took the mushrooms, cooked them and then pureed them in a blender and smashed it all together and called it steak. Took a bite and tossed it.

Really tasty! Just as good as the regular meati steaks, I think the only difference is the seasoning. Unfortunately quite expensive - about $9-10 for a box at Sprouts and a box contains 2 steaks. I prepared them in a pan and it was quite easy. In the end I tore up the pieces and used them in a ceasar’s salad.

Very low in fat and very high in overall nutrition. #shroomTuesday

These were so cool to try! The flavor was awesome and they cooked really easily. The outside got kind of crispy while the inside was soft and tender, though kind of dry as others mentioned. Adding some sauce on top helped. The texture was great and they were awesome by themselves and also chopped up into a burrito. Glad I finally tried these when they were on sale but not sure they’re worth full price which is around $12 a box. #vegansteak #steak #mushroom
