Vegan Seitan Steak
I'm no Vegan but my partner is and it kills me to pay R100 for a 300g piece of processed plant protein. So I did a bit of digging and found this. It's vegan, mouth-watering, tender, chewy, juicy, flavourful and meat-like. Amazing! BBQ or pan fry then serve whole or slice and put on top of salad for a steak salad. So delicious and satisfying! Ingredients For the vegan seitan steaks: 1 ½ cups vital wheat gluten 1 cup cooked lentils (I used canned) 6 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon liquid smoke ¼ teaspoon black pepper For the vegan seitan steak marinade: ¼ cup water 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave Instructions To make the vegan seitan steaks: 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.
