Instructions
For the Marinade
- Pour the boiling water into a large bowl and Whisk in the bouillon paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and liquid smoke until well combined and the bouillon paste is completely liquified.
- Add the soy curls and stir until they’re completely coated in the broth and let marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
Make the cheese sauce.
- Click here for the cheese sauce link.
- Heat a large iron skillet or whatever large sauté pan you have, on medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, melt 2 tablespoon of the butter and add the onions and bell peppers. Stir to coat with the butter and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the onions and peppers, stirring often, for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re nicely caramelized, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the pan back up on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegan butter and let it melt. When the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and stir until coated in the butter. Cook, stirring often, approximately 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms have lost their water and are a nice golden brown, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Drain the liquid (reserve 1 cup) from the soy curls and press out the excess broth. Add to the hot pan and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and brown. Add a bit of the broth to deglaze the pan and let it evaporate. Stir often. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill or toast the bread if desired. We suggest spreading a thin layer of melted butter or olive oil on the inside of the bread before toasting.
- Build your sandwich. We like to start with the soy curls, then the veggies, and top it with the cheese sauce.
Notes
- The soy curls are gluten-free, all you'll need to do is use a gluten-free roll.
- You can, but it's not going to give you the best meaty texture. No matter how much you cook it, it will still be soft in the center.
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- Soy Curls - You can find Butler's Soy Curls in specialty grocery stores and on Amazon. Substitute with the following meat substitutes : our Vegan BBQ Seitan Ribs, shredded jackfruit, store bought seitan or tempeh.
- No Beef Bouillon - This gives the marinade a beef flavor that soaks into the soy curls.
- Vegan Cheese Sauce - We love using our homemade vegan cheese sauces, or if you're in a hurry, we love Violife Smoked Provolone Slices.
- STORAGE -You can store these without the cheese sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They're best eaten immediately after making them.
Can I make this gluten-free? The soy curls are gluten-free, all you'll need to do is use a gluten-free roll.
Can I use tofu to make this? You can, but it's not going to give you the best meaty texture. No matter how much you cook it, it will still be soft in the center. NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
