Henderson’s Ultimate Plant-Based Steak
We thought replicating the meaty taste of steak would be a challenge, but Henderson’s Relish made it so easy with its unique spicy flavour.
As proud Northerners, we grew up on Henderson’s Relish, but through our years of cooking up delicious plant-based recipes, we’ve discovered how versatile it can be as an ingredient in tasty dishes like this Ultimate Vegan Steak.
