Another faux meat experiment: "Beefless tips"
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 10:21 pm
More experimenting with non-meat analogues to see how close I can bring them to the "real thing" through quality product, preparation and careful choice of accompanying ingredients and flavors. This spicy Hunan-style stir-fried beef and pea pods dish comes pretty close, using Gardein "home-style beefless tips" made with a combination of wheat gluten and organic non-GMO soy with other plant-based constituents. The texture of the "beefless" chunks comes close to long-simmered stew beef, and with the bold Asian flavorings, it might fool all but the most critical observer.
