Israeli startup Redefine Meat is working to create the perfect meatless steak using 3D printing.
The alternative meat industry is booming, projected to be valued at $8.1 billion by 2026. Sausage, ground beef, and more recently chicken have each had their moment as the alternative meat in the spotlight, but steak remains a mostly untapped area. Cuts like steak have the highest profits in the meat industry, but recreating the texture of muscle and fat has proven difficult. Redefine Meat thinks it can do just that.
Competitors like Novameat in Spain are also pushing ahead, and coronavirus-induced meat shortages pushed alternative meat companies even further into the spotlight. Faux steaks might not be available in the grocery store for a while, but they could indicate where food tech is going.
