Squeaky Bean® Brings You A Chargrilled Steak Style Sandwich That’s Better For You And The Planet
Few things in life are more satisfying than a steak sandwich, packed with steak slices, sautéed onions, red bell pepper, and garlic, and topped with melty cheese. The gorgeously wonderful combination of crispy bread, savoury fragrant beef and crunchy vegetables and a slightly sweet garlicky sauce.
Now imagine this beefy sandwich is vegan and the filling contains only a fraction of the saturated fat? It’s now a reality with NEW Chargrilled Steak Style Strips made by Squeaky Bean, the brand that brought popular chargrilled style chicken pieces to supermarket shelves.
Finally, a satisfying sandwich filler that’s ready to eat straight from the pack, and kinder to you and the planet.
NEW Squeaky Bean Chargrilled Steak Style Strips, 120g, are rolling out nationwide in Sainsbury’s stores nationwide. (RRP £3.00)
Grab yourself a crusty baguette, or maybe a pita pocket or a wrap, load them with the strips, crunchy vegetables, garlicky sauce and enjoy with chips.
Squeaky Bean Steak Style Strips are perfectly chargrilled until aromatic with an irresistible charred flavour making it even quicker to get great flavour into any dish.
It's ideal for a quick and easy midweek meal. Just top a salad or stuff a baguette for a tasty and satisfying lunchtime munch.
And importantly, these slices are high in protein, (25g/100g) low in saturated fat (1.4g/100g) and fortified with B12 and Iron, so helping to make them an easy switch from beef.
The impressive easy to prepare Steak Style Strips offer even more choice for those who are reducing meat, as nearly half (46%) of adults in the UK are seriously looking at reducing their intake of animal products in the future.
Steak Style Strips are joining the entirely vegan Squeaky Bean range which includes ready-to-eat full on flavour Chicken Style Pieces, mind blowing Chargrilled Mini Fillets and tasty Sandwich Slices, featuring the famous NYC Deli Pastrami.

World Champion Cheese 2022 Is Announced: Le Gruyère AOP Surchoix
The World Champion Cheese rose to the top of the record-breaking (and mouth-watering) 4,434 entries in this year's World Cheese Awards, where the best cheeses from around the whole world went head-to-head at the world's largest cheese-only event.
The cheeses were scored on aspects such as the appearance of the rind and paste, plus the cheese's aroma, body, and texture, with the majority of points awarded for flavour and mouthfeel.
Dennis Kaser, international marketing manager of Le Gruyère AOP commented on the success, “this is a result that shows the quality behind all these people working together; 1,900 milk producers, 155 cheesemakers and 11 refiners.
"This collaborative work results in such a high quality cheese style, which is loved by the consumer. I'm so very proud to be representing Le Gruyère. Huge congratulations to cheesemaker Vorderfultigen and affineur Gourmino.”
The Le Gruyère AOP surchoix is a matured cheese made from raw cow's milk which is full-bodied with a slightly crumbly texture. It was described as a “really perfect handcrafted cheese, smooth in your mouth and melting on your tongue” by the Super Jury member Christian Zuercher from Mifroma. The tense finale unfolded with Gorgonzola Dolce DOP, made by De' Magi from Italy, coming in second place.
The 4,434 international cheeses were sent to Wales by boat, truck, train, and plane via 19 consolidation points around the world, removing barriers to entry for many artisan cheese producers. Each were closely examined by the panel of judges, featuring cheesemakers, cheesemongers, buyers, chefs, retailers, and writers, to deem if they were worthy of a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Super Gold award.
The crowds watched as some of the finest palates in the global cheese community debated the best of the best. Through the judging process, 4,434 became 98 Super Golds and then 16 finalists. These cheeses went on to be re-judged by the International Super Jury, which included Cathy Strange from Whole Foods Market (USA), Patricia Michelson from La Fromagerie (UK), Denis Priimagi from Cheese Kingdom (Ukraine) and Davide Fiori from Luigi Guffanti 1876 (Italy), who put forward their preferred cheeses live on World Cheese TV, which was streamed globally, before crowning this year's World Champion Cheese.
The top 16 includes:
Le Gruyère AOP surchoix, by cheesemaker Vorderfultigen and affineur Gourmino
Gorgonzola Dolce DOP from De' Magi
Grosse Tomme de Bufflonne Cave Jacobine from Prolactine France
lde Fryske from De Fryske
Tomme de chèvre Cave Jacobine from Prolactine France
PATA DE MULO CURADO LOS PAYUELOS from Quesería Artesanal Los Payuelos
Greensward from Murray's Cheese
Devon Blue from Ticklemore Cheese
Spenwood from Village Maid Cheese
Grosse Tomme de chèvre Cave Rousseau from Prolactine France
Sinodun Hill from Norton and Yarrow Cheese
Gorwydd Caerphilly from Trethowan's Dairy Ltd
Großer Deichkäse 12 Monate from Rohmilchkäserei Backensholz GmbH & Co. KG
MA-TRU' Pecorino Amatriciano from F.LLI PETRUCCI SRL
L'Ambra di Talamello from Rocca Toscana Formaggi S.R.L.
Gentenaer from Little Cheese Farm
Lesley Griffiths who is the Rural Affairs Minister of the Welsh Government, Principal Global Partner of the World Cheese Awards, says: “I'm so proud that Wales has hosted the world's biggest cheese awards.
“This really is the 'World Cup of Cheese' and a celebration of excellence in cheese making from around the globe.
“In addition to the exceptional cheesemakers, we have welcomed 250 experts from 38 different countries to judge and a Super Jury of 16 judges to select the coveted World Champion Cheese.
“It has also been great to see the strong Welsh presence at the awards who have been able to showcase their high quality products. A huge congratulations to all of the winners and everyone competing this year.”
John Farrand, managing director of the Guild of Fine Food, organisers of the World Cheese Awards, comments: “What a finale. This year's World Cheese Awards has been a huge success and Wales has been the perfect canvas for this colourful event. We've seen more entries than ever before and it's great to see such a range of styles and regions represented.
To crown Le Gruyère AOP surchoix as this year's World Champion Cheese is so well deserved. The judges in the room today, our cheese experts from all over the world, were clearly blown away by the quality of the cheese and dedication shown by all the cheesemakers.
“I'd like to thank our judges, sponsors and partners, particularly the Welsh Government, for all their continued support and for helping this year's awards to be bigger and better than ever before, giving the global cheese community a day of well-earned celebration.”
This year's World Cheese Awards was the 34th edition and has seen more entries than ever before with a record-breaking 4,434 cheeses submitted from 42 countries and 900 companies from around the globe (10.9% UK based, 89.1% international).
The cheeses included increased entries from Canada, Argentina, Slovenia and Israel, whilst India followed its first entry in 2021 with several more this year and the Ukraine saw a huge increase in entries after the World Cheese Awards was moved to Wales from its original 2022 location of Kyiv. Well-established cheesemaking nations such as France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom were well represented by both returning and new entrants, with a notable increase in Swiss entries.
All entries were judged in a single day, as 250 experts from 38 different nations studied their appearance, texture, aroma, and flavour. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Super Gold accolades were awarded during the morning session before the Super Golds were reassessed to find this year's top 16 cheeses and this year's World Champion Cheese.
