2023 🥩 Vegan Steakhouse Experience, Charley's Steak House
Charley’s Steak House off International Drive is marking the dawn of a new era in steakhouse dining, welcoming plant-based guests with open arms. They’ve partnered with Chunk Foods, a fast-growing start-up who produces cuts of “meat” derived from plants. The product is remarkably accurate to tender beef, take a sight of our bites!
🌿 Vegan Chimichurri
The F.U. Filet Mignon is derived from 100% plants, including 25 grams of protein and free of GMO’s. The steak is composed of ingredients that include salt, coconut oil, soy, and wheat. The texture is comparable to juicy roast beef, as the shreds tenderly break apart when cutting. The chimichurri sauce brightens the grilled, savory taste while adding a depth of herbaceous flavor.
🍄 Peppercorn Steak
The plant-based steak utilizes a solid state fermentation that incorporates B12 and iron for vegans who need to supplement these vitamins and minerals into their diet. The peppercorn sauce holds a light, creamy texture, adding moisture to the steak. The sauce holds a savory flavor, with mushrooms providing a subtle woodsy, umami taste.
🍹 Cocktails
No steakhouse experience is complete without wine or cocktails. Charley’s Steak House features an impressive wine list, including Coravin selections. They also stay up-to-speed with drink trends, offering a smooth espresso martini and fruit-forward drinks like their Orange Blossom Mai-Tai.
🧆 Meatballs
It’s important to highlight the meatballs as they could be easily overlooked when meat-eating guests marvel the selection of steak cuts. The amuse-bouche of meatball utilizes a marsala sauce that warms the palette, offering a hint of sweetness to bring out the savory flavors.
