Gardein Home Style Beefless Tips

Today I tried Gardein Home Style Beefless Tips for the first time. I've been noticing them in the supermarkets but never thought of getting them because I left beef behind many years ago with no desire to go back to it. Beef was my last meat, and the last time I ate beef I nearly threw up on myself in public. I was a little bit nervous about this. But I thought I'd just see if this Gardein product is good. I have family who will eat it if I don't like it.

I decided to use it just like I would use beef. I stir fried it with onions and green peppers and tossed it over some rice.

To made this dish I used the Gardein Homestyle Beefless Tips, onions, bell pepper, olive oil, soy sauce, non-GMO corn starch, water, and black pepper. I cooked the onions and peppers a few minutes first, then added the Beefless Tips and cooked as directed.

I must admit this was really good. It looks and cooks just like beef. It has a nice beefy flavor, but I wouldn't say it tastes like beef. It has a taste of its own that has the essence of beef. Beefless Tips have a smoother, softer texture and cleaner mouthfeel that is equally satisfying as dead cow muscles. This product will not fool omnivores, but it's good for opening up meal options for herbivores. While this isn't really my kind of thing, this is another great plant-based product from Gardein. I plan to use the remaining portion for a vegan beef and broccoli meal. I can imagine this would also make good fajitas.
