Trying new Striploin by Redefine meat at Maltby Street Market

Redefine meat has been the buzzing the vegan world since it was launched being the first company to create lab printed plant based meat.
Therefore I had to try them and see how they compare with other plant meats.
Redefine meat had a pop up at Maltby Street Market so I seized the opportunity to try it.


On offer were three items: 
Redefine Christmas steak sandwich (Redefine striploin, cranberry & mulled onions, chestnut puree, horseradish, baby gem lettuce.
Redefine Bratwurst Dirty Dog (Sauerkraut, mustard gherkins, sriracha ketchup, crispy onions)
Redefine pulled beef loaded fries (smoked chilli, pineapple chimichurri, pickled red cabbage).

The striploin and pulled beef are new and not on the market yet so I ordered them both.
Starting off with the Christmas steak sandwich, it was a little disappointing because it didn't quite look like steak slices.
The texture and taste was not bad but it lacked that beefy taste and chew.
Apart from striploin, the rest of the sandwich was well executed, the bun was good and the chestnut puree was velvety and tasty.


Moving on to the pulled beef, I felt that it did much better than the steak strips.
The texture was meaty and had an elastic chew to it like beef.
The quality was quite similar to the plant based pulled beef offered in the M&S Food range found in the no beef salt beigel and no beef Shanghai style noodles.
Again, the chef did a beautiful job with the pineapple chimichurri and pickled red cabbage.
The pineapple chimichurri was simply delicious as it had this lovely appetizing salty and tangy kick.


Although, I did not get the Bratwurst, I was quite lucky they were offering samples so I tried some.
The texture was a bit firm and chewy.

Overall, I felt that this visit didn't quite reflect Redefine meat as I didn't try the printed steak and the items I tried above are quite similar to other existing brands.
