Recipe: Ingredients (In order used) 2 tbs olive oil 1 tbs marmite 2 tbs soy sauce 1 tbs vinegar ½ tsp liquid smoke 1 tbs molasses 1 tbs mushroom seasoning ½ cup cold water ¼ cup chickpea flour 2 ¼ cups vital wheat gluten ¾ cup water 1 tsp methylcellulose 1 cup refined coconut oil ½ tbs carrageenan 2 tsp beetroot powder 1 tsp cocoa powder Few pinches of kosher salt ??? Water (depends on the container) Instructions: Add the following to the blender: olive oil, marmite, soy sauce, vinegar, liquid smoke, molasses, mushroom seasoning, & cold water. 1:10-1:48 Cover and give a quick pulse. 1:58-2:01 Add chickpea four & vital wheat gluten. 2:05-2:18 Pulse until it forms gluten chunks. 2:22-2:38 (do not burn out blender) Dump the mixture out of the blender and knead. 2:48-3:03 Shove the mixture in a container you wish the mixture to conform to, set to the side. 3:04-3:10 In the same blender add water and start blender 4:54-4:59 Keep blender on and add methylcellulose 5:00-5:03 Keep blender on and drip in coconut oil 5:04-5:25 Add carrageenan, blend for a few seconds. 5:28-5:38 Layout parchment paper and paste out some coconut oil. 5:38-5:48 Cut off a thin slice of steak mixture, cut into strips, and lay in the same direction on coconut oil. Spread 1tbs or so of coconut oil every layer or so. Continue until finished. 5:48-6:42 Wrap in parchment and several layers of foil and boil for about 30min. 6:50-7:17 Pull out, unwrap top layer, put in the freezer until firm enough to cut. 7:18-7:34 Put beetroot powder, cocoa powder, and kosher salt in a container. Fill with enough water to cover steak but not overflow. 7:37-8:10 Cut off edges of steak if waned and submerge, set in the fridge overnight. 8:28-9:04 Cut against the grain and place in a hot pan coated with olive oil and place any desired herbs in, salt and pepper, cook each side. 9:17-9:50 Admire and eat 9:51-end of the video Would try adding the beetroot powder to the blender at the beginning and maybe a pinch of cocoa, Would not add the beetroot to brine but would add cocoa. I think it would make the inside red and outside brown instead of the reverse. Thoughts?

This looks like you're nearly there. One tip is mixing the beetroot powder in with the seitan rather than just soaking it overnight. The advantage of beetroot over other colouring is that it will brown with heat. This means it will then brown on the outside when you cook it and stay pink in the middle. I make a pretty good pastrami this way. Loving your work.

[@Mllet3d]

Looks great. You might want to consider using a syringe to add a little bit of pomegranate juice in between your layers before you cook it so as to give it a nice red and sweet center.

@@BBQpig21 the only reason to eat meat would be the taste, vegans don't deny the tastebuds. What we say is that a life isn't worth the 10 minutes you eat a steak. You can get as unhealthy as you can with meat if you crave it. It's possible. Just not widely spread, which is a problem for many vegans, especially in small towns. That's the reason for most ex-vegans, because it's not implemented in our society. Not just replicas of meat, but vegan food in general isn't represented as it should be. I don't know one restaurant that serves many vegan meals.

When people complain about vegans wanting to make meat substitutes I actually get confused and feel they are insecure. If they are so sure that we're meant to eat meat why does it bother them? They always complain that vegans get triggered by meat eaters but tbh I see more complaining about vegans making substitues. So weird

[@tessajalloh3914]

As a lifelong lover of meat, i think i can offer some perspective on this. For some (not i, couldn't care less what another person eats) the idea of being lectured for eating meat, and then seeing the very same people try to replicate it down to the texture and taste, seems hypocritical. Further than that, the argument that eating meat is wrong for the moral reason of killing another thing to eat it is a bit pie in the sky. There's no food that does not come with the end of another living thing. That goes for fruits and vegetables as well. At the end of the day however, a sustainable alternative to meat would be fantastic, as long as it's cost of manufacture can be kept low it can be a valuable option for people living in food scarce environments. And i think that rises above any moral arguments about the diets of strangers. It's also a fascinating thing to see explored, just on a scientific level. It marries molecular gastronomy together with the simple down to earth pleasures of home cooking in a way that feels practical rather than pretentious.

@@tessajalloh3914 yes all food come from living, but we vegan make a distinction between sentinence and non sentinence beings. You would never see a vegan lecturing about the life of a bacterie and things like that. It was interessant to see the perspective of a meat eater because I had the same opnion a long time ago

[@tessajalloh3914]

@Bisexual Misanthrope i wouldn't be too certain of that. Recent research suggests that some fruit bearing plants (tomato and Tobacco plants) emit ultrasonic 'distress sounds' when damaged or dehydrated. www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7773333/Plants-emit-ultrasonic-scream-stems-cut-water-short-supply.html Our understanding of anything that isn't mammalian is heavily affected by bias and presupposition that if it hasn't got a brain or a nervous system, it can't possibly feel pain. And the argument about animal sentience has been historically stymied by religious sensibilities. They're lesser creatures, they're not sentient, only humans have souls etc (i don't believe this to be true, many pet species display personalities, preferences, and in the case of dogs, accents believe it or not.) As we leave behind preconceptions and study objectively, it becomes increasingly likely that everything alive feels pain in some manner and tries to survive. Pain and suffering are defense mechanisms after all. Why wouldn't plants also have some sort of pain mechanism to let it know it's in danger?

[@tessajalloh3914]

@Bisexual Misanthrope i take it you didn't read the article and the sources contained within? Yes the 'ultrasonic screams' aren't audible to human ears, but they're detectable by equipment, insects, and other nearby plantlife, causing defensive responses in plant species that possess such capabilities, such as releasing bittering chemicals to make them less appealing to predators. The moral implications aren't really my concern though. Killing just to kill would be wasteful and pointless. Killing for food however, that's nature. I wouldn't consider a Lion stalking, chasing and tearing apart a gazelle to be an immoral act. I'm sure that yes, many slaughterhouses could improve on their methodology and reduce the suffering of animals, but on the whole, the practice is quick, clean, and as pain free as you can possibly make it without ruining the meat. What we eat is a choice, as omnivores we're able to be quite picky, especially given the abundance of every type of food imaginable for a majority of the world. But i see no choice to be superior, as i originally stated, for you to eat, something has to die. Respect your food, whatever it may be. Don't be wasteful, or overly greedy. That's my personal approach.

[@tessajalloh3914]

@Bisexual Misanthrope I'm trying to be generous here. I truly truly don't care what anyone eats. Your diet is your own business and no-one else's. We /are/ animals. And we are a part of the natural cycle. If it's a logical fallacy to state such, then I'm fine with that. As for the frugivore categorization, we may once have evolved from frugivore ancestry, but it's clearly no longer the case. We can, and do, get energy from raw and cooked meats, fish, mushrooms, root vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and even some flowers. And we can effectively prioritize most of these to get what we need to function, grow and live healthily. A blend is ideal, maximising from the different foods we eat. We are omnivorous, if I were to be less generous, I'd say we're almost scavengers. Able to survive on almost anything we can find to eat. Going back to this video though, an alternative to meat products, easily produced with low cost, would be incredibly valuable, and there would be some who either for dietary or personal reasons would cut meat out entirely for that alternative. I probably wouldn't, unless I found it tasted better than actual meat.

[@ristowelling244]

your recipe is very close to the "secret" seitan I have made in one local vegan restaurant. The fat is good add on to that.

[@nealpatel7867]

Mark this looks amazing!!! Was there any thought of putting some of the beetroot powder into the mix itself rather than just the brine? So that the entire steak is tinged red and not just the outside?

[@SauceStache]

I honestly felt like the brine would have penetrated all the way through... Now that I see how it came out, I will be adding some beet in the mix

[@brneyedgurl08]

@@SauceStache I was thinking the same...is it possible to somehow brine the middle (perhaps injecting it somehow, or making and brining separate layers?). What you have now looks like an inside out steak - "cooked" brown on the inside, "raw" red on the outside, but still looks delicious!! Thanks for all your hard work~
