Offbeast

Offbeast is a Baltimore food-tech company making plant-based whole-cut steaks - filet mignon, ribeye and steak bites - that mimic the muscle-fiber texture of real beef. Its proprietary Cross-Fiber Assembly platform bundles plant fibers into steak-like cuts through continuous manufacturing, avoiding the expensive equipment and biological processes rivals rely on. Founded in 2022 (as Mooji Meats) and backed by Y Combinator, the company sells to East Coast restaurants and direct to consumers.
