Beef-Style Seitan

This is a healthy alternative to beef!

- It's full of protein!

- It's low fat!

- It's cholesterol free!

- It's got a meaty texture!

- It's yummy!

Use it like any meat product:

- Crumble it into Sloppy Joes or Bolognese!

- Chop it into a stir fry!

- Slice it as a topper for an Asian Salad!

- Cube it for stews, soups or my Bourguignon!

- Grill it like burgers or steaks!

This is a photo of my Beefy Mushroom Bourguignon with Seitan:

Add vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast. If mixture is too dry, add broth by the tablespoon until dough sticks together.

Cover a baking sheet with foil. Coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Form into 6-8 “steaks” and place on baking sheet. Brush tops of seitan steaks sparingly with olive oil.
Bake 30 minutes, turn once and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Cool, store covered in refrigerator and use within 7-10 days.

Simply substitute Mrs. Dash Chicken Seasoning for the steak seasoning, you can create a Chicken-Style Seitan! Easily as useful as the beef recipe!
