Vegans and plant-based food enthusiasts have something new and amazing to rejoice about. RedefineMeat unveiled the world’s first Alt-SteakTMplant-based products. Made with the 3d-printing  technology specifically for meat, the company’s Alt-Steak products “have the texture, flavor and appearance of beef steak”.
 
Working with leading butches, chefs, food technologists and the close collaboration of taste expert, Givaudan, Redefine Meat has digitally mapped more than 70 sensorial parameters into its Alt-Steak products, including premium beef cuts’ texture, juiciness, fat distribution and mouth-feel. It can produced in the volume and cost to enable large-scale market launch.
Redefine Meat’s Alt-Muscle, Alt-Fat and Alt-Blood plant based formulations are used, layer by layer, to create Alt-Steal with their industrial-scale 3D food printers.
 
“Since day one of the company, we have been working on creating a tasty and affordable plant-based alternative to steaks, one of the most cherished food products and the driver of the entire meat industry,”says Eshchar Ben-Shitrit, CEO and Co-Founder of Redefine Meat.

Redefine Meat’s Alt-Steak products will be put to the test at a limited number of leading chef restaurants later this year. Incorporating feedback from high-level chefs and butchers, the company will then ramp up production of its 3D meat printers and alt-meat formulations ahead of market distribution in 2021.

 “The importance of using precision 3D printing technology to achieve texture, color and flavor—and the combinations between them—cannot be overstated.” says Ben-Shitrit, “By using separate formulations for muscle, fat and blood,we can focus on each individual aspect of creating the perfect Alt-Steak product. This is unique to our 3Dprinting technology and lets us achieve unprecedented control of what happens inside the matrix of alt-meat. Collaborating with an industry-leader like Givaudan has led to the creation of an Alt-Steak product that is not only healthy and sustainable, but also offers the satisfying flavors, textures and aromas of eating actual meat.”
