Did you know, Vegan ground beef replacements are often made out of mushrooms, soy, or beans? Using walnuts gives this ground beef a more hearty texture, and doesn’t require much prep or any cook time at all.

Like many raw food recipes, this grounded up vegan meat is also fantastic for next day use. If you have the patience and willpower let this recipe marinate overnight. Serve on nachos, use in sauces, tacos or your favourite pasta dish.Vegan Ground Beef

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HIGH PROTEIN VEGAN GROUND BEEF

To make this high protein vegan ground beef recipe, pulse the walnuts and sunflower seeds a few times in a food processor to break them into smaller pieces. Add oil, tamari or soy sauce, and all spices to the food processor and pulse until it becomes the consistency of ground beef. If necessary, add more seasoning or oil to taste.

Serve immediately or, for best results, let it sit for 4-24 hours before serving to allow flavours to fully develop.

  • waaaaaauuuu this is sooo delicious😋😋😋🤩🤩🤩thank u for the recipe

  • Two tablespoons of cumin? Shouldn’t that be 2 teaspoons?

    • I really like cumin and think it adds to the recipe but if you’re not a fan you can always adjust to your taste

  • I can’t believe I just found this recipe, I am not a fan of a lot of the highly processed fake ‘meat’s’ so this is a great alternative.
    This will be great in burritos!

  • Has anyone tried this in a chili? I usually make chili with only beans but wanted to try something different to give it a bit more texture. I just wasn’t sure how it would hold up.

    • It should work well in a chili, add last once the rest of the vegetables and base are cooked

  • Can this be frozen?

    • EdgyVeg says:

      I haven’t tried freezing this but it may dry out the final result. While cooking after freezing, add some water or veggie stock when cooking to keep it from being dry.

  • Lilach Man says:

    Any idea how many calories in this?

  • How long should you soak the walnuts?

  • I can see how this could be really good but it was way too salty..I’ll make it again but leave out the additional salt, I think there is probably enough in the tamari!!

  • Yolanda says:

    Calling it “beef” helps newbies and people who are changing their eating style due to health. We shouldn’t be judgemental… They’re getting healthier…trying to follow a vegan diet for heath is fine! Once they get the hang of it all… Then we can reeducate them to being WFPB!
    It’s all good and no animal or human needs to give up their life or lives!
    Peace! ✌👍

  • This looks fabulous and I can’t wait to try. Thank you from Canada 🙂

  • Annie -Laurie Buckman says:

    Sounds delicious walnuts are pricey where I live but I can’t wait to give this a try as a treat!

  • Teresa says:

    Bulgur also would give it a very ‘ground beef’-like texture and lower the fat content. But, I wouldn’t blend the bulgur in the processor — I’d add it in after the walnuts were minced.

  • With nut allergies, can you recommend a substitute for the walnuts? Thanks! Your recipes are great!

  • I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m wondering about the amount of protein per serving. How large is a serving? Or how many servings does this make? Thanks!

  • Paul W says:

    You should not be calling anything Vegan “beef”.

    • You should not be calling anything made from dead cows “beef.”

    • Valerie says:

      I appreciate that Candace calls this “beef” because it forwards the cause of making people who are new to veganism feel more comfortable. When feeling like food is more familiarity they are more likely to try or stick with it. 🙂

  • Judith A Loue says:

    I use Bob’s Red Mill TVP for veggie ground “beef”, but I don’t have to avoid Soy. I like your recipe, especially for folks who have to avoid soy products. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
