My grandma used to make us the best dinners and “Pepper Steak” was one of them - usually thick cuts of steak, peppers and onions served over basmati rice. Who said vegans can't enjoy this? It's UNREAL how much seitan can resemble meat. It tastes delicious when prepared right and has over 23g of protein per 1/4 cup.
Chat GPT's Vegan Seitan Steak
For the seitan:
- 2 cups vital wheat gluten
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the marinade:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For cooking:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, and olive oil.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a steak-like shape.
5. In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper to make the marinade.
6. Place the seitan steaks in the marinade, turning to coat both sides. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
7. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seitan steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and crispy.
8. Serve your vegan steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a salad. Enjoy!
