Anyone have a good plant based substitute method for beef stews?

Feeling nostalgic and making my mother-in-laws Hungarian Goulash for today. I was thinking my SIL would like the recipe but her family are pescatarian so I would prefer to share it with some ideas on how to work around the beef part instead of making her sad because it doesn't fit their lifestyle.

My daughter went through a meatless phase for a while and I think the Impossible brand was preferred for taste but that's all I remember about the market. Maybe there is a good recipe for making little chunks that would complement the stew? I remember the substitute being delicate so best guess is it would get dropped in right before serving.

The main seasonings in the stew beside the beef and beef broth are marjoram, onions and paprika.

Beyond meat makes some fake beef tips that might work, but I don't think they're especially great. You could just use assorted mushrooms in place of the beef, probably brown them first and get them a little caramelized. Actually maybe I'll try that with the beef stew recipe I used to make when I ate meat, I've been craving that with the cooler weather. Use veg broth, and maybe something to intensify the flavors like a bit of vegan worcestershire sauce or soy sauce

Not the same thing, but I've found a mushroom stroganoff recipe that I absolutely love, it's a nice vegetarian alternate to a cold weather stew kind of dish, serve over egg noodles. https://www.littlebroken.com/mushroom-stroganoff/
