Hey Gang!! Pick up 2 Two Packs of NOT Steak Sauce over at Notsteaksauce.com and get FREE Shipping!!! Thats on 2 Two Packs!! So get 2 for you and 2 for a friend!!!! Thanks for all of the support of this new project, I love SAUCE and this is my FAVORITE!!!
You do you, of course, but bringing your own sauce to a restaurant is something I find strange at best and this definitely doesn't make me want to try this. I'm assuming you'll at least have checked with the restaurant, but even then, it would have been difficult for them to say no, given that this is advertisement for them. But just imagine doing this at a fine dining place.
Hi, question. The ingredients listed on the front, is that the entire ingredients list? I couldn't find information on it. Are there any gum additives in it? Except for gum acacia, I am extremely allergic to gums. I miss A-1 (xanthan gum) very much, and am thinking of giving your sauce a try, because I love your recipes. Thanks!
When starting this video, I was all fired up to comment “you should have brought your sauce to the restaurant!” Turns out you actually already did so in perfect style and humor. awesome!
I'm kind of impressed they got the texture to look like that with what looks like mostly just tofu in the ingredients you called out for the bulk of the mass.
omg, that looks deeeeeelicious!! speaking of brisket, you could marinate and cook it with a boatload of black pepper, some ACV, a little mustard, and some good salt to make a corned non-beef....
I just looked up Chunk steak! My mouth is watering!! It looks like there's about 10 spots in Florida to grab a Chunk Steak, and I will definitely be trying it. Thank you so much, as always, for sharing your discoveries!
SO HAPPY THE SAUCE IS BACK! Just got my 6 bottles in, and fast! Thanks again Mark. The first batch you sold blew my mind and now I'm stocked up on round 2 ❤😊
I think that it's too expensive for real or fake. I wish them well, though, in hopes of being able to get the price down. In the mean time, this is a great opportunity to get rich people to spend money.
I have not tried Chunk, but it looks very similar to one we did try and love recently - Juicy Marbles which is available in some grocery stores (we paid $28).
sooooo i ordered your book and your NOT steak sauce and these chunk steaks (had to buy a large quantity as not available in stores that i know of) lettttt me tell you...this steak and your NOT steak sauce is literally a game changer! i took pictures of it but did not know how to send to you and i am only an amateur so not pro photos but omg that NOT steak sauce, and these steaks and your book so i can learn how to make mushroom jerky was the find of the year for sure!! thanks so much!! keep the videos of you and monica coming!
I LOVE your channel... while I am not vegan, I eat a lot of plant based foods, and have recently started sprouting mung beans, lentils, and broccoli... love the flavor, and the nutritional value is incredible... I thought you might (provided you do not already) want to try sprouting, and incorporate them into your dishes... I guess I am looking for some good ideas lol... btw, Monica, oooo la laaaa...
This seems insane, I must say. I am so so glad more and more companies are trying to develop plant based meat alternatives that could easily please meat eaters. The more competition we have the more they have to try harder and boom we end up having options like this available! I think you should definitely reach out to them about a collab as I've not seen you this excited about a meat substitute in a while!
Margarett!!! Its crazy. ITs by far the best whole cut meat ive had yet. Im really excited for whats to come with this!! I actually started talking with them today again about this! Thanks as always for being here.
I was just at Anixi a few weeks ago! LIFE CHANGING. I was torn between that and the Khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread) with the vegan egg on top. Ended up going with the latter, which was divine! As well as the chik'n shishkabob. Everything was absolutely mindblowing. I really want to go back and try the Chunk now!
It might be worth it to them to keep production small and sell it at an exclusive price. Scaling a business isn't always the right choice. But I'd love the chance to try it
Nice!!! I've seen it for much cheaper then what they are selling it here in Florida... which makes sense because everything is twice as expensive in Florida
Damn I just realized how slim you became. You slowly see it, but you just realize it after months or years, especially when you go back and compare, the difference!
@@specialstar9933 yep, thought about this with plants before they cut their pruning, seeing which slim stick fundament that everything is holding together 😲
@@cloud890 you can be very sick with an animal protein diet. Think of MS or cancer. Not saying she is sick, but if she is, maybe the vegan diet is HELPING her with her sickness. Dude think!
I thought the same, they look almost identical, so I really wonder where the totally absurd price of this one comes from. Because the JM steak is expensive, but still way cheaper than this one.
@@danims7329 yeah I would love to see a video comparing the quality of both (or maybe even more steak brands) and also comment if the price difference is worth it
I had this on Sunday in a restaurant, it was advertised as a vegan steak but little to no other explanation about the steak. they served it with this thick gravy and tasted to much like meat that I actually was scared they got my order wrong. And it was a main course for 24 euros here in the Netherlands.
yeah, I couldn't totally see not being 100% sure. I knew what it looked like going in and even seeing it and tasting it in person had me shocked! 24 euros is a super good price!! Thats much more affordable!
@@bramm8az Aandefonteyn in Dronten. I didnt ask who made the steak. so im not 100% sure if it was the Chunk. but it looks like a carbon copy of what is shown here.
Actually not. Plants are all discovered already. Stick to your beans and plants and stop calling it steak. It's not. The skirt steak from a cow that I grilled tonight is steak.
There are some awesome new faux steaks available now in Europe too. The "Juicy marbles' is just like the steak you tried in the video. And also check out the 'redifine meat' steak. This is served in a high end steakhouse chain and is also really good!
I've had Juicy Marbles, they are here in the US too!!! Really good as well but definitely different than this particular steak!! I haven't had Redefine meat yet!! Looking forward to trying it!
It looks good but it looks like a cheap piece of meat, not a $58 steak. For that price it should be spot on. If they manage to sell these for $10-15 at home that sounds more reasonable.
I got to try this steak at Willow restaurant in NYC, and I agree it was the best vegan steak I've ever had. The day it's available for retail I will be right on top of getting some. Thanks for this great video about it!
OMG! When I saw the thumbnail, I legit thought that was steak. If there was a place in my town with it, I'd definitely try it! Even though I don't have any vegan steak, I decided to order your Not Steak Sauce and give it a try. I'm sure I'll find something to put it on. lol
Beyond Meat Steak Tips! I made a sandwich with the tips, Organic Shwarma Sauce, plus sautéed red bell peppers and onions. I also made vegan Tzatziki Sauce. Luscious!
@@loverofsong9830 My store didn't have any Beyond Steak Tips so I got Beyond Burger. I received the sauce already so I had it with the burger, tomato, onion, spinach, and Follow Your Heart blue cheese. It was delicious!
That looks really good! I would like to see your take on recreating this. I think the hardest challenge is to get the strains all in the same direction. The rest is flavouring, and you already nailed that. ;-) A while ago I made a mixture of thinly shredded oyster mushrooms and gluten (seitan), that worked out pretty good, but definitely not as beautiful as this.
I have seen manufacturers of flavorings and extracts. They don't just make the basics like vanilla or almond - they have unusual extracts like cotton candy, butter rum, or maple bacon flavor - all vegan! I wonder if one of them also has a vegan steak flavoring one can use. Obviously natural plants are the best source of flavor, but most people eating these vegan steaks won't be too worried about that.
@@TigerGreeneextracts aren't always some crazy science experiment. Vanilla extract is made by just soaking vanilla pods in very, very high proof liquor. That's all it takes
@@msjkramey Actually, that is not all it takes. Commercial vanilla extract is highly processed and requires maceration in a series of alcohol washes at specific percentages, temperatures, under pressure, then filtered and/or percolated through several rounds. This draws out a deep, complex blend of hundreds of flavor compounds from the bean. This is nearly impossible to make at home without expensive equipment. Cold infusions (or technically a tincture) like you described are easy - just slice a few beans and drop them in alcohol. I have both in my kitchen. Infusions have a much more subtle flavor with a simple, basic profile, but they don't contain most of the flavor compounds (which are highly volatile and don't fully extract). Quality commercial vanilla extract is a much more stable, concentrated, and layered product. Infusions are also not cheaper to make. They cannot replicate the wider range of flavor of a commercial extract. If you're interested in learning more, there's a pretty cool article online called Real Talk: DIY Vanilla Extract Is a Waste of Time and Money.
@@JCC_1975 I have never heard of that! Thanks for the heads up! I just checked it out and it looks awesome. I definitely need to try it out. Have you cooked with it?
definitely reach out to Chunk and see if they'll fund/supply your experimentations. I had never heard of them before this and I think you'll bring them great publicity and exclusivity that you should definitely cash in on!
I had an amazing vegan 3D printed steak at Unity Diner in London, the restaurant founded by Earthling Ed. The brand was called Redefine Meat. It looked just like this and tasted as close to a steak as I’ve ever had, and wasn’t as expensive. But short of flying to London this is the next best thing. I hope we get something like this in stores soon.
Funny that he mentioned Guga foods, because I saw a video a few days ago where they tried the vegan "Wagyu Steak" and they all three didn't like it 😂 (at all)
50 yeas ago I ate at the cafeteria in the basement of Lona Linda university. They had the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. Lola Linda is SDA, so I was eating a fried meat analogue. The texture was perfectly chicken, flavor was spot on.
A lot of places here in NYC area are actually serving this and I tried it after seeing this video, and I got to say, AMAZING. Took my father, who’s very much a meat eater, to try it at the vegan Mexican/latin fusion restaurant Siete, and we had it pulled in an arepa and as the unadulterated star of the show in their carne asada and, just, absolutely nuts.
Juicy Marbles is REALLY good!!! They sell it here in the US as well. I would say they are close but this is on top as far as texture and taste. JM is really good dont get me wrong, but if you have tried this one it'll blow your mind
Im really trying to figure it out. The cost to manufacture it overseas is out of my budget at the moment, and the shipping cost is through the roof. Hopefully after this next run I can get a few small orders made around the world
Ive had chunk a few times now at a few restaurants in NYC. SO good. Tastes like braised short rib to me. Still waiting for that perfect vegan “steak”. But this is damn close
Oof my condolences. Good luck in the move! Do you have a new place in mind? FYI, the vegan friendly places tend to be cities, so it will cost way more to live there than where you are now. But the salaries are way higher and there's tons more jobs available.
Juicy Marbles does a steak that is basically exactly the same as Chunk foods steak except Chunk foods only sells to businesses, if you wanted to order some and try some recipes. They also make great ribs with the same texture.
I’ve tried juicy marbles! It’s really good, but it is different. If JM is 90% there chunk is 110% there in taste and texture. Both are excellent and I highly recommend both of them. But chunk wins by a margin to me.
Yeah I think you need a business license to buy them and prove you’re a restaurant. I’m going to try though. I found the same link. And sorry about your other comment… that wasn’t me. I think it was yt spam filter
@@SauceStacheThanks Mark, I think this was my 3rd or 4th try to comment - I figured there are rules about posting links. I hope I don't get banned! I will try to buy them too at some point.
@@SauceStacheMark, I just ordered my 16 steaks. It was no problem, I just entered my business as "other" and put in my band name as my business name, plus I got their 6 week payment plan with 0 interest! It was $176 with shipping which comes to about $11 per steak. I just need to order your steak sauce now!
Thanks for the review. I'm a 32-year vegetarian, and my subjective, rule-of-thumb experience is to make the range of vegan replicas only 1/2 has thick as what's being copied. Otherwise, it's just "too much" and the full sensory experience of a Beyond Meat burger, etc, etc. disappears. Again, that's my opinion. Hopefully the beet taste is non-existent. Looking forward to trying the Chunk steak soon.
I need to do a side by side... But from the last time I tried it I would say chunk wins the taste and texture game here, BUT not by much. Chunk is really good, but their fibers are thicker a little tougher and not as springy. This comes out more like real steak, like exactly like real steak. Juicy Marbles was 98% there. This is 110% haha
Oh nooo it's too bad to go from a glass to plastic bottle just for a little convenience problem, you can't please everyone but plastic waste is such a problem so I was glad to see a glass bottle, the step back is too bad
There was a lot of breakage with the glass. We lost over 10% of the original product. The waste from the product along with the over double weight for shipping the heavy glass bottles it made it far more worth it to switch. It was a hard switch for me too but it felt worth it.
We get juicy marbles too!! I’ve tried it. Very good steak! Different than this for sure. But I recommend them both. This one is much closer to real steak though.
It's not available in the UK. I'm wondering how the stratafied texture is formed. I wonder if a very thinly rolled seitan folded in on itself compressed would do something similar.
That nutrition label is not to code for the US. While fiber is not included in carbohydrate counts in EU labels, it is in the US, so it should state 11 grams carbs. While the EU style is arguably better, there still needs to be consistency in labeling.
I never even liked steak before going vegan, But I'd definitely try this. Also, What kind of sauce is your Not steak sauce? And does it ship to the UK?
It's a umami sauce!! Sweet, savory and a little spicy ( just a little spice ) right now we are only shipping in the US! Trying to get that changed very soon!
Looks amazing like Monica was on your date night 💑 I wonder if only available to the commercial sector is potentially down to quantity of production and cost 🤔 Is it 3D printed out of interest ?
We actually have juicy marbles here too!! Tried them, they are excellent! Little different than these but similar. IF JM is 98% of the way there this one is 110% haha
Wow this looks just like Juicy Marbles, which is the best vegan steak I've had so far. I'm not sure there's any restaurants near me that sell the one you tried.
Sorry if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it, but how does this compare to Meati? There's a restaurant near me I can go to try this, but they don't sell it as a steak, but as like bits in their other dishes.
If they did I woulda been mad but not totally shocked as I could see this being that close. I've heard people that have ultra questioned this, like they couldn't believe it wasnt steak. Even the employees there were commenting how much it was like beef.
Cultured soy and wheat protein? Wow. This looks exactly like maybe a slow cooked round or something. I eat plenty of meat but eventually want to switch to veggie based (for the planet) and this seems like a great option.
