Quorn Peppered Steaks

Quorn Peppered Steaks I have eaten Quorn products for years now as I really like them on the whole, finding they offer a tasty meat-free option to my evening meal, with the Quorn mince offering a meat-free solution to some of my favourite meals such as Spaghetti Bolognaise and Chilli Con Carne. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Quorn is a man-made meat substitute and is completely suitable for vegetarians. One of the meat-free products that I had tried a few years back was the pack of 2 “Quorn Peppered Steaks” and I remembered being rather unimpressed, so failed to repurchase this ... more

I eat poultry and fish but when it comes to red meats, I rather not bother. I also often favour vegetarian options and normally cook from scratch. Putting together one of my last grocery deliveries I noticed that Tesco were running special offers on Quorn products.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy cooking and have enjoyed making sure that we have been eating healthily but just occasionally I do feel a bit idle – don’t we all? It was for times like this that I had bought a few of the Quorn ready prepared things such as steaks, escalopes, burgers etc. Quorn and a lot of its derivatives are ‘free’ food on our diet so we can have them anytime. One of the things that I bought is the Quorn Peppered Steaks which we ... more

As you may know from some of my other reviews, I am not a huge fan of red meat or any other meat a part from chicken, turkey and perhaps sausages. However, I am partial to the Quorn products and after having sampled (and reviewed) the lamb style grills and found them gorgeous, I picked up 'Quron 2 peppered steaks' for £1.89 in Asda, down the fresh food aisle (though they can be frozen and cooked from frozen). Quorn in a brand marketing especially for vegetarians because the products contain mycroprotein as opposed to meat, making the products very nutritional, low fat and low calories. Each ... more

Allergy suffers need to be aware that they contain Barley ... more
