Aldi Launches Vegan Flank Steak

Aldi has announced the launch of a vegan flank steak in UK stores, described as “tender and juicy” with an “undeniably meaty texture.” The Ultimate No Beef Flank Steak will be available from November 11 for £6.99, not as part of Aldi's Plant Menu range but labeled as "Specially Selected." This new product follows the trend of realistic vegan steaks from other brands like Redefine Meat and Juicy Marbles, using plant-based ingredients to mimic the appearance and taste of traditional beef steak.

The launch of Aldi's vegan flank steak comes as the supermarket expands its Plant Menu line and releases its biggest Christmas range yet for 2024. While there has been some controversy over Aldi discontinuing certain vegan items in the past, many plant-based eaters are hopeful that the No Beef Flank Steak will remain a permanent addition to the Aldi lineup. The popularity of realistic plant-based meat alternatives continues to rise, with innovative companies using various ingredients to create products that closely resemble traditional animal-based meats.
