What is it?

The Plantbase Store Vegan Beef Slices are a plant-based meat alternative designed to replicate the texture and savoury flavour of beef. This 100g pack is produced in Vietnam and is suitable for vegans. The product contains defatted soybean flakes, isolated soybean protein, wheat gluten, and wheat flour, making it a protein-rich option for those following a meat-free diet. Please note that it contains gluten, so it is not suitable for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.

When to use it?

These vegan beef slices are ideal for any dish where you would typically use sliced beef. They work brilliantly in stir-fries, noodle soups, pho, rice bowls, and wraps, adding a satisfying meaty texture without the meat. They are perfect for quick weeknight dinners, meal prep, or when you want to introduce plant-based options to your family. The 100g portion is a convenient size for one to two servings, making them great for personal use or testing a new product.

How to use it?

The slices are versatile and ready to be incorporated into your cooking. You can add them directly to soups and hot broths to heat through, or pan-fry them with a little oil until lightly browned and crisp for stir-fries. They absorb flavours well, so marinades and sauces will infuse into the slices, enhancing the overall dish.
