If you’re a fan of meat substitutes like Beyond and Redefine, there are now more meaty vegan recipes than ever using plant-based versions of steak, chicken, mince, and burgers. These recipes use modern meat alternatives in everything from comfort food dinners to quick lunches and high-protein meals.

Plant-based meat has changed a lot in recent years, with products designed to replicate the texture, flavor, and richness of traditional meat more closely. That means recipes can now focus on familiar dishes while still keeping everything fully vegan. Many of these meals also come together quickly and use simple cooking methods.
