Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 0.5 cup Beetroot (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Potato starch
- 4 pieces Burger buns (vegan)
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Sliced tomato
- 0.25 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Dill pickles (optional, sliced)
Instructions
Place the textured vegetable protein (TVP) in a bowl and rehydrate it by adding 1/2 cup of hot vegetable broth. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, grated beetroot, coconut oil (softened), soy sauce, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, vital wheat gluten, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and potato starch. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Knead the mixture lightly for 1-2 minutes to activate the gluten, which helps provide a firm and chewy texture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are heated through.
Lightly toast the vegan burger buns on the skillet or grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, sliced tomato, and dill pickles (if using). Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and flavorful Vegan Wagyu Beef Burger!
