In case you missed it, everyone and their mother (and their brother) is trying out a plant-based lifestyle lately — and it’s not just everyday people like Us. Celebrities, influencers and athletes alike are giving it a whirl, making tasty, meat-free alternatives to classics like burgers, spaghetti bolognese, glazed meatballs, sloppy joes and burritos. And they’re not just liking it . . . they’re loving it!
Kim Kardashian is a longtime fan and Chief Taste Consultant of Beyond Meat, a brand that serves as a founding father of plant-based meat alternatives. Not all meat-free alternatives are created equal, especially when it comes to “beef” products — think ground beef, steak and burgers. Many are loaded with chemicals, dairy products, soy, preservatives, GMOs and saturated fats, to name a few, making them just as bad — if not worse — for your health than a greasy burger. Others have a fairly clean label, but have a texture like cardboard and a mediocre taste — at best.
If you’re looking for a plant-based meat alternative that checks all of your boxes, from ingredient quality to meat-like taste and texture, we’re taking it from Kardashian and a slew of A-list athletes and stocking our freezers with Beyond Meat. “I’ve been focusing on going more plant-based and can tell you that Beyond Meat is my absolute favorite,” Kardashian says. “I love how all their products not only taste amazing but are also good for me and my family.”
The Beyond Steak Seared Tips are particularly popular, packing 21 grams of protein per serving and only one gram of saturated fat. It’s made with the usual components of meat! In other words, you’ll get all the protein, minerals, water and more, but this time from plants, not animals. Plus, it couldn’t be easier to whip them up.
To cook these plant-based steak bites, simply remove them from the freezer and cook in either a skillet or an air fryer. Cook for five minutes, season to taste and enjoy! Whether for a weeknight dinner, a quick lunch or a snack for the kids, these meatless steak tips will change the meal game forever. Take it from the pros!
The brand just announced a partnership with the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) on a cookbook called Go Beyond the Buzzer, a cookbook inspired by NBA players’ pre and post-game meals. Cade Cunningham, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard and DeAndre Jordan are just a few superstars in the lineup who share their favorite Beyond Meat recipes! Sausage tortellini, steak teriyaki, lasagna, spicy rigatoni and steak chimichurri are some highlights, but you can check out the entire recipe book for free at Beyond Meat.
So if you’re looking for some celeb-backed recipe inspo, or if you want to have last-minute dinner covered for the foreseeable future, you’ll want to snag some Beyond Steak (or Beyond Burgers, Beyond Beef, Beyond Meatballs . . . you get the idea).
