Squeak Easy!

The Squeaky Bean range was known for its ready-to-eat vegan products from

Pastrami to Tikka pieces, has now created frozen steak and chicken-style pieces.

Made with wheat and pea protein and frozen for convenience; pieces are low in

saturated fat and a source of protein. (kcal: 189, 26g protein, 0.6g saturated fat,

per 100g). The pieces are perfect for a range of cuisines from Asian stir fries and

curries to Mexican tacos and Italian pasta dishes.

For a quick and easy Mexican style plant-based steak tacos, simply panfry

Squeaky Bean Steak Strips in oil, add Mexican fajita spices, fry for a

further two mins. Then add sliced red and yellow pepper, sliced red onion

and stir-fry until softened slightly. Serve in Tacos or tortillas with Mexican

accompaniments such as sour cream, guacamole and tomato salsa.

Both the beef and chicken strips are suitable for vegans, are high in protein

and low in saturated fat. Cook from frozen in just three minutes. Cooked pieces

can be enjoyed in a wrap with salad.
