Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten 120 g
- ¾ cup water 175 mL
- ¼ cup chickpea flour 30 g
- ¼ cup tomato paste 50 g
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 15 g
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Broth
- 6 cups vegetable broth* 1.4 L
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar 30 mL
- ½ tsp liquid smoke 2 mL
Marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce 60 mL
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste 10 g
Instructions
- Dough: In a large bowl stir together all dough ingredients until a ball forms. Transfer to a clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until dough is elastic and cohesive (it will still be lumpy, that's okay!) Form into a rectangle, working it to be about ½ inch thick (you may need to use a rolling pin). Cut into four even rectangles, then let dough rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the broth.
- Broth: Add all broth ingredients to a large pot and bring to a simmer. Gently lower the seitan steaks into the broth, ensuring the dough is covered by the broth (if not, transfer to a smaller pot). Partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Marinade: Meanwhile, whisk together all marinade ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Remove steaks from the pot and let them cool enough to touch, then brush them with the marinade. Let sit in the marinade for 15 minutes (up to 8 hours).
- Sear: Sear on a well greased pan or grill over high heat to slightly char the outside, then serve warm.
Notes
- For a more beefy flavor, use a vegetarian "beef" broth, such as Better than Bouillon No Beef Base.
- Storage: Leftover steaks can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat it on the stove top or in the oven.
