You can buy premium vegan meat online in the UK and have it delivered frozen, ready for the grill or the pan. The trick is matching the cut to the dish, because a burger, a mince and a pulled format each want different handling. This guide covers the full Redefine Meat range we carry and how to get the best from each.
Beleaev ships the line-up across the UK on a cold chain. Below: every cut, what each one is for, roughly what you pay, and the plain method that does them justice once the box lands.

Which Vegan Cut Should You Buy?
There is no single best buy. There is the right format for what you are cooking and how many you are feeding.
For the everyday: vegan beef mince
The vegan beef mince is the one you will reach for most, a 1kg bag from around £29.95. It browns in the pan and carries a sauce, so it slots straight into bolognese, chilli, tacos, meatballs or a cottage pie. Cook it like ordinary mince and season it with confidence.
For the grill: premium vegan burger
The premium vegan burger comes as eight 140g patties, around £30.95. They hold their shape on a hot grill and take a proper crust, which is what separates a premium patty from a budget one. One patty per bun, a slice of cheese or its vegan equivalent, and you have a burger that earns the bun.
For low buns and loaded plates: pulled beef and pulled pork
The pulled beef and pulled pork are both 1kg, around £42.95 each. They arrive pre-shredded and built to drink up a barbecue or hoisin sauce, ready for soft buns, tacos or loaded fries. Warm them through with the sauce and pile them high.
For skewers and the pan: kebab mix and sausage
The lamb kebab mix is a 1kg pack of coarse, spiced protein, around £36.95, for koftas, skewers and flatbreads. The Mediterranean sausage gives you twelve herby links, around £29.95, for the pan, the grill or a traybake with peppers and onions.
| Cut | Pack | Best for | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beef mince | 1kg | Bolognese, chilli, tacos | £29.95 |
| Premium burger | 140g x 8 | The grill | £30.95 |
| Lamb kebab mix | 1kg | Skewers, koftas | £36.95 |
| Mediterranean sausage | 67.5g x 12 | Pan, traybake | £29.95 |
| Pulled beef | 1kg | Buns, loaded plates | £42.95 |
| Pulled pork | 1kg | Buns, tacos | £42.95 |

How It Arrives
This is where a lot of online food goes wrong, so it is worth being specific.
The whole range is frozen, which is a genuine advantage rather than a compromise. Frozen means you cook what you need and keep the rest, so a 1kg bag of mince stretches across several dinners with no waste. We hold everything cold and ship on a temperature-controlled courier, so the pack you unwrap is in the same condition it left us.
We deliver across the UK. You do not need to be a trade buyer, and you can mix and match the range in a single order, a couple of bags of mince, a box of burgers, a pack of sausages for the week.
How to Defrost and Cook It
Two rules. Defrost slowly. Cook it like you mean it.
Defrosting. Move the pack from freezer to fridge and leave it overnight. Cook from chilled. Do not rush it under a hot tap, and treat the burger patties gently while they are still firm.
The mince. Hot pan, a little oil, and let it brown before you stir, exactly as you would beef mince. It takes seasoning happily, so be generous with salt, pepper and spice.
The burger. Get the grill or pan properly hot first. Press the patty once, leave it alone, flip it once. Poking and shuffling is what dries a patty out. Cook it through, then pull it off the moment it is hot and crusted.
The pulled formats. These just need warming through with your sauce of choice until glossy and hot. They are already shredded, so there is nothing to break down.
The kebabs and sausages. Thread the kebab mix onto skewers or shape into koftas, then grill hard for colour. Sausages want a steady pan or grill until browned all over and hot through.
Cooking for a Crowd
The range is built for sharing, which makes it useful when numbers are uncertain.
A 1kg bag of mince makes a chilli or bolognese for six to eight with ease. A box of eight burgers covers a small barbecue, and the pulled formats turn a stack of buns into a help-yourself spread that suits mixed tables, vegan guests and meat-eaters side by side, eating the same thing.
For a mixed gathering this is the quiet advantage of premium plant-based: nobody gets a separate, sad plate. Set out the burgers, the kebabs and a bowl of pulled beef, and the table sorts itself out.

Is the vegan meat delivered fresh or frozen?

How do I cook a frozen vegan burger?

Can I serve this to meat-eaters at a barbecue?
Yes, and it is one of the range's strengths. Premium plant-based, well seared and properly seasoned, sits happily alongside the rest of the grill. Set out the burgers, kebabs and pulled beef, and a mixed table eats the same spread without anyone feeling left out.
