How to Cook Meati Like a Pro

Once you have stocked up, the next step is cooking it correctly. The great thing about Meati is that it cooks like animal meat, so if you are comfortable with a skillet or grill, you will feel right at home.

 

Essential Cooking Methods

 

Pan Searing (Best for Steaks and Cutlets)

Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for three to four minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For extra depth, baste with butter, garlic, or herbs during the last minute.

 

Grilling

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates, then cook for four to five minutes per side. Avoid letting it char too much since mycelium cooks a little faster than animal meat.

 

Air Frying (Crispy Cutlets)

Set the air fryer to 375°F. Cook for eight to ten minutes, flipping halfway through. For a crispier finish, spritz lightly with oil before cooking.

 

Baking

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes, which is perfect for breaded cutlets or weekly meal prep.

 

Pro Tips for Best Results

Pat dry before cooking to help with browning and crust. Marinate for at least fifteen minutes, and up to two hours, for deeper flavor. Let the cut rest for about five minutes after cooking to keep it juicy. Finally, season generously with salt, pepper, soy sauce, mushroom powder, or other umami boosters.

 

Meati Product Lineup and Best Uses
