Suggestions for Iron Chef Ingredient

lol, vy.
i almost gagged when i saw that my wife bought steak-umms the other day. i'd rather have imitation extruded protein product than steak-umms. with cheese and peppers and onions of course.

I'll be sitting out of the eggs battle for sure. Maybe I'll be blasphemous and make up some vegan cheese steak for next week.

If you can make a "beef like" dish using vegetarian items, that would be awesome! For example, "Vegetarian Beef Burgers" on the grill with lettuce, tomato, etc.

I'm not terribly familiar with the beef alternatives in vegetarian cooking, but if there is anything that is beef-like and allows you to make a beef-like themed dish (burgers, spaghetti, sloppy Joes, hot-dogs, etc), then by all means do it! It will count and be an awesome eye-opener for us all!! :clap:
 
Update to show next week's challenge, so put your thinking caps on, and don’t forget that this week's IC is Beef!

well, here it is Sunday night and I did the random number generator via the website for it. #5 - avocados!

If anyone has any objections, please post soon. Otherwise, I'm assuming we're going with avocados.
 
Hope no one minds but I did the generator just now. I like knowing as far in advance as possible for shopping purposes.

The number I got was 24 - greens of any kind.

So, battle Greens is on!

Dandelion, anyone??

Thanks for the spin, Adillo. I cook with alcohol a lot. It's never the main ingredient, but I should be able to come up with something.
