SUPERMARKET giant Aldi has recently added a vegan steak bake to its Plant Menu range.
The vegan snack has become increasing popular after Greggs introduced its version earlier this year.
Fans will be able to pick up a pack of two of the Aldi version in the freezer aisle of the discount supermarket.
The 'no-steak bake'
Dubbed the 'no steak bake', Aldi hopes that the product will appeal to anyone looking to reduce their meat intake, as well as to those following a plant-based diet – especially as Greggs remains closed due to the current UK lockdown.
What does it taste like?
The savoury bake resembles a classic steak bake in appearance and is filled with a meatless soya protein mix, all encased in vegan pastry, which is made using a blend of vegetable oils.

A brief history of the vegan steak bake
Reports of the Greggs vegan steak bake first began circulating in August 2019, and Greggs then further added to this by tweeting a video which told fans to expect something vegan in January 2020 – but didn’t reveal what it would be.
Launched on January 2, 2020, the release of the vegan steak bake followed the huge success of the bakery’s vegan sausage roll.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
