How to Make Mouthwatering Seitan Beef Using Just Two Ingredients!

[@farhanaliqureshi3908]

Slow cook for 24 hours and then keep warm for 24 hours. 48 hours in total. That's very interesting. And the end results looks really great. Please keep sharing more vegan recipes. Thank you 🙏

[@jess.flowers]

The keep warm for 24 hours is not required at all! It did make it extra firm and good to slice, but in my last video for wash the flour seitan chicken I skipped that part! It still was incredible, but more tender and succulent. It all depends on what you want!

Wow, magnífico!!! La mejor

[@emartin851]

Looks incredible! I need to try this.

[@truezazax]

hi there, great video. just curious, what did you mean by "expanding too much" ? will the seitan getting bigger or streched out, as you simmer it? thank you for this great vid again.

What other recipes would the starch water be used for?

[@addv9019]

How much vital wheat gluten would you use instead of bread flour? Also, are you adding the beet juice for coloring, or for flavor? I’ve got some beet powder, kinda wondering if I could sub that in. Looks like it is really good!

[@jess.flowers]

You would want to use another recipe if you are using vital wheat gluten so you can other things to mask the flavor of gluten. I personally don’t like to use vital wheat gluten because I don’t like the flavor and find it difficult to mask it. But I’m very picky and know many people don’t mind the flavor. The beet juice adds color and also has an impact on flavor- however it’s fairly minimal. If you are into experimenting, I would do a mixture of vital wheat gluten, the beet powder, mushroom seasoning, black strap molasses, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar to create a loaf. Acid can help cut the flavor of the VWG, and the saltiness from the mushroom seasoning and soy sauce with a bit of brown sugar (and molasses) helps balance that out so it’s not too sour. I might have to pick up some vital wheat gluten and play with this because it would be a time saver. I just prefer the flavor of washed flour so much better!

I'm not vegan, but this looks interesting. Unfortunately, it's a no-go for people in my family that can't tolerate gluten.

@@Zarai_Numbers Vegans want faux meat. Who wants the fake version of something? Someone out of alignment with nature herself.

If you dont have a crock pot can you do this with an oven?

[@jess.flowers]

I haven’t tried it in the oven. In theory, if you have the seitan submerged in the broth and you keep it a low enough temperature for the broth to be a very low simmer- it could work! My best guess would be 250f? Then you’d want to periodically flip the seitan so it can be cooked evenly. You still want a long cook time, at least 5 hours. I haven’t tried this method yet, so it might need a lower temperature and longer cook time! It must be at a low temperature or the seitan will ‘expand’ or cook too quickly and create air bubbles. Bubbles in your seitan are from steam being released from boiling broth them trapped inside the dough. Bubbles in your seitan will cause a spongy texture, with no shredding. The thing is, you can’t overcook seitan, but it’s difficult to fix it isn’t cooked through the center considering it’s one big loaf. That is why I recommend slow cooking it overnight. That way you are guaranteed it is fully cooked despite the low temperature. I recommend checking out your local buy nothing group and see if anyone has an extra slow cooker or consider thrifting one!

What does it taste like?

[@jess.flowers]

Meaty- very iron rich with notes of garlic, onions, and mushrooms. It’s pretty similar to something like a marinated roast beef

[@trizhaay]

Love ramen!

[@footballfactory8797]

Wowb!

[@davidzeto2446]

Wow. I'm sure it tastes great, but it literally looks like a piece of

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

I mean this as a complement -- this is so close to meat looking, that I can barely look at it. xD Great job, I'm sure it tastes incredible.

[@merk9569]

Lol! When it’s in the bowl it looks like 93% ground beef. When she removes it as a slab, it looks like beef liver (yuck!). I can’t wait to try it!

[@tonyvfish]

Two ingredients, I saw a lot more than that

[@Tamara-fb4so]

For me it's the chew. It doesn't taste like meat, just gives you the satisfying mouth feel.

[@johnhill6281]

I watched, wanting to keep an open mind. But, it's a hard pass for me.

[@jess.flowers]

Since you have an open mind, I would buy some just to try it. Many Chinese restaurants sell it and label it as 'mock duck', but it's the same thing- just different spices! Otherwise international grocery stores like HMart sell it too if you wanted to try preparing it at home. Lots of omnivore people eat seitan in addition to other proteins, I say it's at least worth trying!

[@mariesal3558]

Poor beet! It had a life too

[@baltayoshi]

Yeah but it has no sensations of pain. It has no astral body. Only an etheric and physical body.

[@sonyad924]

Why do vegans want things that taste like meat?🤣

[@jess.flowers]

The same reason people eat meat! This is high in protein and tastes good. Why do people eat animals when plant based alternatives exist?

[@victoriarose4506]

That's such an unnecessary and ignorant question, really. Vegans don't typically become vegan because they hate the taste of meat. They become vegan for a variety reasons, usually health or morals. Seitan has been around over 1500 years and was used by Buddhist monks, who were usually vegetarian. As vegetarianism and veganism and plant-based eating becomes more popular, re-creating a good meat substitute will lead to more people adopting this lifestyle, which is better in general.

[@Justwosweet]

What makes you think it would taste like meat?

[@baltayoshi]

Because most of us stopped eating meat, but learned tons of recipes that required meat. So we substitute the meat with plant-based 'meat'. It's not so difficult to figure out.

[@footballfactory8797]

stupid question...
