This Vegan Steak is the perfect cruelty-free substitute for your next steak dinner. 

Ingredients

– 3/4 cup cannellini beans cooked (can use chickpea, lentils or even black beans) – 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari – 1/4 cup nutritional yeast – 1/3 cup tomato sauce thick homemade preferably – 1.5 tsp smoked paprika (or 1/4 tsp liquid smoke) – 1/2 tsp granulated garlic – 2 tsp onion powder – 1 tbsp dijon mustard – 1.25 cups wheat gluten – 1/3 cup water – 1 tsp grated beets for color

1. Process the wheat gluten – In a food processor, combine all the steak ingredients until a dough forms. Don’t forget the tomato sauce, it’s what makes those steaks extra tender and juicy.

2. Transfer to a cutting board – Knead the dough a few times and add more wheat gluten if it feels sticky. Knead until a fibrous texture is created as seen in the process photos above.

3. Cut the dough – Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, stretching each one until they’re between ½-1 inch thick.

4.  Boil – Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the seitan steak for 25 minutes.

5.  Marinate – Whisk together all the marinade ingredients and lay the steaks in a single layer in the sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes on both sides for a total of 30 minutes..

6.  Cook again – Heat a cast iron skillet with a drop of olive oil in it and sear the steaks on each side until char marks form. Alternatively you can place them directly on your outdoor grill. Serve and enjoy with your favorite sauce!
