‘Fakeaway’ TikToker reveals how to recreate a low calorie Greggs Steak Bake from home

TikToker revealed how to recreate a low calorie Greggs Steak Bake from home- using just a CRIMPiT and a toaster. 

Lindsay Wiencierz, 32, from Durham, has revealed how you can make the delicious treat at home for less than half the calories. 

She used the gadget which is designed for making toasties with sandwich thins, thus cutting down on calories.  

The homemade steak bake has just 158 calories as opposed to the real Greggs version which has 408 calories. 

The ‘fakeaway queen’ shared the video on her TikTok @fakeawayqueen which racked up over 265,000 views.

Lindsay uses just a brown sandwich thin, a can of stewed steak from Sainsbury’s, a kitchen tool called CRIMPiT and her toaster. 

She mentioned that she had pre-cooked the stewed steak on the hob first for a few minutes or it could go into the microwave. 

In the clip she then placed one side of the thin wholewheat bread onto the CrimpiT device before placing a spoon of stewed steak in the centre of the bread.

She then popped the steak bake into the toaster to heat up and make the bread crispy. 

Speaking to the Mail Online Lindsay said: ‘I feel like my biggest downfall when it comes to weight loss has always been my cravings for takeaways! 

‘And although it’s good to treat yourself once in a while, I thought, why not make a lower calorie version of all my favourite takeaways? That way, I still feel like I’m having a treat whilst sticking to my calorie deficit.’

Next to the viral clip she wrote: ‘Nice little @Greggs fakeaway using @the_crimpit which is my fave kitchen tool atm!’

Many rushed to the comments to leave their thoughts on the healthy snack.

One person wrote: ‘The filling doesn’t look hot. I appreciate the convenience, but not at the risk of being on the toilet for the evening!’ 

Lindsey replied: ‘I cooked the filling on the hob before putting it inside so I guarantee it was piping hot after being in the toaster also.’ 

Another wrote: ‘does it not bubble and come out the sides? I’d be worried about toaster exploding!’

Lindsey replied: ‘As long as you make sure all of the sides have properly met then it doesn’t come out! I was worried about this too but it’s never happened.’

Another wrote; ‘I’ve made these myself, but not like you have. I’ve also made the sausage and bean melts!! But I need to invest in the CRIMPIE.’
