Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 quarters cup Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and soy sauce.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until it begins to form a dough.
Knead the dough by hand for about 3-4 minutes on a clean surface until it becomes firm and elastic.
Shape the dough into a log about 6-8 inches long and 2 inches thick. Wrap the log in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure it tightly.
Place the wrapped log on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the log from the oven, carefully unwrap it (it will be hot and steamy), and slice the seitan into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seitan slices and pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and slightly crispy.
Serve the vegetarian breakfast steaks hot with your favorite breakfast accompaniments such as eggs, toast, or potatoes.
