Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 quarters Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Grill seasoning
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, 0.5 cup of vegetable broth, water, and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Shape the dough into a log, about 8 inches in length.
Wrap the log tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.
Steam the wrapped dough for 30 minutes using a steamer basket over simmering water.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Once steamed, let the seitan cool slightly before slicing it into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining vegetable broth, liquid smoke, maple syrup, and grill seasoning to create the grilling marinade.
Brush each slice with the marinade on both sides.
Grill the seitan slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and they are heated through.
Remove from grill and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite vegan sides.
