I had not had these in years, until I ordered a case. I dip then in flour and pan fry in oil. Just like I remembered. I really enjoy them. It may be a bit of an acquired taste. You can not expect them to taste anything like steak, or you will be sorely disappointed. I am so glad Amazon is carrying these items. You can't beat the price, and the free shipping is great.

These are wheat gluten steaks, pretty good with onions and gravy, or great sliced into strips and used in stir-fry.

I like the texture of these. They are better when cooked stove-top with some seasoning (it is soy afterall) than tossed into a microwave but in a pinch, I do that also. These are a great source of protein for strict vegetarians and those who want to eat more healthy.

I do have to agree that the texture of these "steaks" is somewhat rubbery, and that's why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. But that firmness is what makes them so wonderful for vegetarian Greek gyros. I slice the steaks thin, marinate them overnight, briefly warm them in a frying pan, and serve them in a pita with hommus and tzatziki sauce. (I make everything vegan, including the tzatziki sauce.) The "steaks" hold up wonderfully, and come as close to Greek gyros as I have ever had. I also use them a lot in stews, where I find that slow cooking softens the "steaks" considerably. As are all the other Worthington and Loma Linda products, the steaks are versatile and can be used in many dishes. UPDATE: 11/08/10. I am wondering why the price on these and all Worthington/Loma Linda products has increased greatly. Anyone have a clue?

What could be better than someone dropping off your groceries? Dropping off months of them at a great price!

I was able to order the case, delivered at my door in days, for a better price than if I had driven to my local store with a coupon. Of course, Worthington products are a staple in my home. I am a vegetarian so I am always looking for ways to add protien to my diet and these steaks are a quick, easy, and very tasty choice.

The steaks are a gluten based protien that can be cooked or grilled whole or sliced and diced. They work well with gravies and will hold other flavors like soy sauce or spices. The best way to describe them is like a very firm dumpling that has been cooked in flavorful broth. They are very verstaile and my non-vegetarian family and friends like them

I was able to purchase this case for less than half of what my local stores sell them for AND it was delivered! All I needed was someone to cook it up for us!

Makes me hungry just thinking about it!

I started using this product as a minor and it will stay in my life as long as they continue to make it. Even my children like it.

I first tried these years ago as a meat-eater new to (and skeptical of) meat substitutes. I loved them! Actually, my exact words were, "These are quite palatable." My mother-in-law dredges them in torula and brewers yeast and fries them with diced red onion and they're just about my favorite food!

I had something like this many years ago and then couldn't find them. They are fabulous if rolled in flour, fried in oil, and seasoned with a little steak seasoning. They are also fabulous used as swiss steak (cook with onions, red and green bell peppers and canned tomatoes).

THESE ARE PRETTY GOOD AS FAR AS GLUTEN BASED FAKE MEATS GO. I PUT THEM IN STIR FRY AND EAT AS A QUICK SNACK. MY DOGS LOVE THEM AS A TREAT. I WISH THEY WOULD REMOVE THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MSG IN THEM HOWEVER.

Worthington Vegetable Steaks are nutritious, versatile and very tasty. I use them as "steaks", can be dipped in batter and pan fried. Use in stir fry, strip into pieces, and add to stir fry recipe. Yummy,as is, in a sandwich.
Give them a try! : )
