💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Sear Beyond Steak pieces in a screaming hot pan (400°F+ surface temp) without oil first for 90 seconds to develop Maillard browning, then add oil to prevent protein from steaming in its own moisture.technique400°F+ surface temp, 90 seconds
- ✓Add pickle juice gradually to your tahini whip (1 tsp at a time) because the acidity can break the emulsion if added too quickly, causing the mixture to split.technique1 tsp increments
- ✓Thaw frozen peas in 160°F butter rather than boiling water to preserve their bright green chlorophyll and prevent the cell walls from bursting, maintaining better texture for blending.ingredient160°F
- ✓Press your assembled sandwich with 2-3 pounds of weight for 3-4 minutes to compress the layers and help the smashed peas act as a binding agent between components.timing2-3 pounds, 3-4 minutes
- ✓Char broccoli until 20-30% of surface area shows black spots because this level of carbonization creates bitter compounds that balance the rich tahini without overwhelming the sandwich.technique20-30% surface char
