Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams seitan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1 medium, thinly sliced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 150 grams, thinly sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup vegan cheese sauce
- 4 French rolls
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to sauté for 5 more minutes until the peppers are soft.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Add the seitan slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned.
Reduce heat to medium and return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the seitan.
Add soy sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, stirring to coat the vegetables and seitan evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a small pot over low heat, gently warm the vegan cheese sauce until smooth and heated through.
Slice the French rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them in the oven or a pan with a bit of vegan butter until golden and crisp.
To assemble, spoon the seitan and vegetable mixture onto the bottom half of each roll.
Drizzle the warm vegan cheese sauce over the top of the seitan and vegetables.
Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately, enjoying the taste of a classic Philly Cheesesteak in a vegan style.
