seitan steak

Inspired by the amazing recipes for vegan steaks by The Happy Pear&nbsp;and Veggie Rose.Yes, it's vegan!! Mouth-watering, tender, chewy, juicy, flavourful, meat-like texture. Amazing! BBQ or pan fry then serve whole or slice and put on top of salad for a steak salad. So delicious and satisfying!&nbsp;

Vegan Seitan Steak

vital wheat gluten

lentils ((I used canned))

water

nutritional yeast

tomato paste

soy sauce

garlic powder

chili powder

liquid smoke

black pepper

olive oil

maple syrup

Add all of the vegan seitan steak ingredients to a food processor and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed until everything is well mixed. Alternatively, if you do not have a food processor you can first mash the cooked lentils with a fork or potato masher, then add everything together in a large bowl and mix well.

Turn the mixture out onto a clean work surface and begin to knead it together. It may be a bit crumbly at first, but keep&nbsp;kneading it for a few minutes until it comes together into a tight ball.&nbsp;Cut the ball into 4 sections, then use a rolling pin to roll out each section into 1/2" thick steaks. The dough will be very tough and stretchy, but just keep working at it until you get your desired steak shapes.&nbsp;

Add several inches of water to a large pot with a steamer basket and bring to a boil. Put the steaks in the steamer basket and cover with a lid. It's ok if they are overlapping a bit. Steam for 25 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through so they steam evenly. They will double in size.

In a large ziplock bag or air-tight container, mix together all of the marinade ingredients. The oil won't really combine, but that's fine. Remove the steaks from the steamer and coat in the marinade. Let marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes before cooking, or for as long as several days when kept in the fridge.

To make the vegan seitan steaks:

When you are ready to enjoy the vegan steaks, heat a frying pan, grill pan, or barbecue. When hot, fry or grill the steaks a couple of minutes on each side until grill marks form. Brush the steaks with leftover marinade while cooking to keep them juicy, and also right before serving.&nbsp;Serve however you desire. I like mine served with a potato and some greens. I also enjoy mine sliced and put on salad. So many possibilities!&nbsp;

To serve the vegan seitan steaks:

This Vegan Steak is made with vital wheat gluten for a tender yet chewy texture and is charred in a salty, savory, garlic &#x27;butter&#x27; sauce. 

This veggie steak has a rich, umami, savory flavor that goes so well with roasted potatoes, green beans, or roasted asparagus. This is an amazingly convincing vegan steak recipe that will knock the socks off any omnivores you serve it to!

Lightly flour a surface with 2-3 tbsp of vital wheat gluten. Transfer the dough onto the surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until the ball becomes smoother in texture.

liquid smoke (optional)

In a food processor, blend all ingredients except vital wheat gluten.

Place vital wheat gluten in a large mixing bowl, then pour the wet mixture from the food processor. Using a spoon or spatula, mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for 2 minutes. Then, flatten it out into a circular shape. Slice the dough into 4 equal portions. You can flatten them out more using your hands or a potato masher.

Wrap individual steaks using aluminum foil.

Add several inches of water into a pot fitted with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, and add your steaks to the basket. Steam for 30 minutes.

After steaming, unwrap your vegan steaks, and let them cool completely before using. I will usually sear them in a cast-iron skillet with some oil before serving.
