St Patrick’s Day Vegan Corned Beef by Unreal Deli
It’s leprechaun day! To celebrate I tried Unreal Deli Corn’d Beef!
Mrs. Goldfarb’s “Unreal Deli Corn’d Beef” is the flagship product for Unreal Deli and was unveiled on Shark Tank in 2019, where Mark Cuban went all in and more than doubled what Mrs. Goldfarb was asking. Mrs. Goldfarb created her line of deli meat as a homemade alternative for her family, after learning of the horrifying conditions on factory farms, “This isn’t the world I wanted to leave my children and it got me thinking about where our food comes from”. After an overwhelmingly positive response to her products from friends and family, she took her creations to the mainstream market.
I don’t think I’ve had Corned Beef prior to going veg, so I was truly going in blind. I found some traditional corned beef sandwich recipes online and came up with a vegan version including- Unreal Deli Corn’d Beef, buttered rye bread, stone ground mustard, pickle relish, and sauerkraut. The sandwich was toasted in a pan and served alongside some crock-pot cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. The sandwich was delicious, and I found the plant-based corn’d beef to be sweet in flavor with a subtle smokiness. If you have tried the Sweet Earth brand “Benevolent Bacon”, both the texture and flavor profiles are very similar, but Unreal Deli Corn’d Beef can be enjoyed straight from the refrigerator. The corn’d beef is very hearty and I could see myself serving this in numerous ways for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Who knew cold cuts could be so inspiring?
As of February, Unreal Deli is sold in Sprouts stores nationwide! This is where I found mine, and in addition to Unreal Corn’d Beef, you can find Unreal Steak Slices and Unreal Roasted Turk’y! You can also find Unreal Deli on their website, and at GTFOitsvegan.com Unreal Deli says it best- “The future of deli is plants and the future is now.”
