Plant-based steak could be coming to a supermarket near you
The Beyond Steak Filet is now available for the first time at grocery stores. With 28 grams of plant protein and only 1 gram of saturated fat per serving, the tasty alternative meat meal has earned "overwhelmingly positive feedback" and is the top-selling product on Beyond Meat's e-commerce site.
"I believe Beyond Steak Filet is our most compelling center-of-the-plate innovation since the Beyond Burger," CEO Ethan Brown said in a press release.

Beyond Meat's business could use a boost
Amid slumping sales, Beyond Meat is attempting to diversify its product lineup.
The company launched a line of plant protein-infused drinks with fiber, antioxidants, and electrolytes in January, marking its entrance into the high-growth functional beverage market. In April, Beyond Meat struck a distribution deal with Big Geyser to help bring those drinks to over 26,000 retail outlets.
Investors are hoping that these moves will help to stem the decline in Beyond Meat's sales. The company's revenue fell 15% year over year to $58 million in the first quarter.
