Steak Substitute?

Question

Hey, i'm a really big meat eater and, although i dont want to become a vegetarian, i want to eat healthier and cut down on how much red meat i eat. But i often get these insatiable cravings for a steak, or any cut of beef, i just need some non-ground beef. Does anybody know of some good products that have the texture and flavor and savoryness of steak that i could eat instead of actual beef all the time? For example, i've had veggie dogs, and its really hard to tell the difference between them and real hot dogs. Something like that would be great. Any tips?

Answer 1

Swordfish or Mahi Mahi.

Answer 2

Oh yes, there are heaps of non meat steaks in the markets. Just go looking for them. Not only do they have the texture of meat, the taste like it too. You are right in wanting to cut down in your meat intake. You will be much healthier if you do so.

Answer 3

Grill some big portobella mushrooms ... brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic salt & oregano - BBQ on both sides.  Serve it on an onion roll, with lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced avocado (you can even use whatever "hamburger" condiments you normally use - i.e. mustard, ketchup) ......The mushrooms actually have a "meaty" taste and texture

Answer 4

Tofu can be tasty. or Boca veggie burgers made with mushrooms or beans- all available in regular markets.
