Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces seitan steak
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 4 pieces ciabatta rolls
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Place the seitan steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the seitan to marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
While the seitan is marinating, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking for 10-12 minutes until the onions are caramelized, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the seitan from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they have grill marks and are heated through.
While the seitan cooks, toast the ciabatta rolls until they are golden and crisp.
Spread a tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the cut side of each roll.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering a piece of grilled seitan on the bottom half of each roll, followed by caramelized onions, arugula, and tomato slices.
Drizzle with red wine vinegar for added flavor, then top with the other half of the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Grilled Tri-Tip Sandwich!
