BBQ SEITAN SANDWICH RECIPE

  • Slice ½ the seitan loaf into thin sliced
  • Combine marinade ingredients and whisk together
  • Place ingredients in a refrigerator safe container.
  • Add seitan slices and cover with marinade.
  • BBQ seitan can be cooked in a skillet just like the Philly Cheese Steak in a skillet on the stove following the same directions above. Or, you can use a crockpot.
  • If using a crockpot, empty the contents of the container into the base of the crockpot and add 2 additional cups of vegetable broth.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  • Prepare the coleslaw in advance.
  • Toast buns in the oven.
  • Add a generous amount of BBQ seitan to the bun and top with coleslaw
  • I served with Chipotle Mac and Cheese.

Seitan Steak Recipe

  • Instead of forming a log shape before steaming and baking the seitan, form individual steak shapes with the dough, using your hands.
  • Wrap the steak shapes in aluminum foil and follow the directions for steaming and baking.
  • Then, combine all the marinade ingredients and whisk together.
  • Place steaks in a refrigerator safe container and pour marinade over the top.
  • Cover and marinate overnight.
  • Preheat grill to medium-low (400 degrees)
  • Cook for 7 minutes on each side.
  • Steaks may also be cooked in a skillet on the stove on medium-low for 7-10 minutes on each side.
  • I served with vegan scalloped potatoes.
