Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Seitan
- 125 milliliters Beet juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 8 slices Sandwich rye bread
- 100 milliliters Vegan Russian dressing
- 200 grams Sauerkraut
- 4 slices Vegan Swiss cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine beet juice, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and ground coriander to create the marinade.
Slice the seitan into thin, deli-style strips.
Place the seitan strips in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated seitan slices and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized and heated through. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with vegan butter.
To assemble the sandwich, lay a slice of bread, butter side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of the bread.
Add an even layer of cooked seitan on top, followed by a layer of sauerkraut, and then a slice of vegan Swiss cheese.
Top with another slice of rye bread, butter side up.
Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Remove from the skillet and repeat for each sandwich. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
