I think the 1 1/2 cup veg stock added to the Steak is not correct. I added it and it was way too much. Perhaps it should be 1/2 cup instead and 1 1/2 cup added to the cooking broth.

INGREDIENTS Seitan: -250 grams vital wheat gluten -1 teaspoon garlic powder -pinch of sea salt -½ teaspoon smoked paprika -1 tablespoon tamari -4 tablespoons tomato puree -200 grams chickpeas -250 ml vegetable stock (you may need more) Pot contents: -500 ml water -250 ml vegetable stock -1 small onion or 1/2 large onion -2 cloves of garlic -2 tablespoons tamari Marinade: -½ teaspoon garlic powder -½ teaspoon smoked paprika -4 tablespoons tamari And 1 heaped tablespoon coconut oil for frying METHOD 1. For the seitan, add vital wheat gluten, garlic powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, tamari, tomato puree, and chickpeas into a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands making sure to crumble the chickpeas and evenly combine all of the ingredients. 2. Make a well in the mixture and pour in the stock. Fold together with your hands until it comes to a dough. If it’s not coming to a dough, add more stock. 3. Knead for 5 minutes or until dough becomes noticeably elastic. Placing both hands on either side of your dough ball, stretch the dough around and inwards. Repeat a couple times to achieve a smooth surface on the dough. 4. Add stock, water, tamari, onion, and garlic into a large pot. 5. Split dough into 5 equal portions, shape them into steaks, and tenderize with a potato masher. 6. Add steaks to the pot, bring to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. 7. Take your steaks out of the pot and cut in half. 8. Make the marinade simply by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. 9. Put a single steak into the marinade and massage until it turns color. Repeat for other steaks. I’d imagine you can add all of the steaks to a large bag with marinade or a doubled marinade and marinate overnight (but they didn’t do this). 10. Heat coconut oil in a pan on high heat. Fry up! (no time for frying was included in the video)

Happy Pear, Just made these and they're out of this world! I had to make a few modifications, used kidney beans instead of chickpeas, and instead of skillet frying I baked everything in the marinade in the oven for about an hour after the simmer. Man, this is the best seitan I've ever had. Hand mashing the beans in gives the gluten such a fantastic texture unlike any seitan I've ever had, and probably the most meatlike in mouthfeel. Thanks for this. It's a gamechanger.

It's bad for you, apparently. Gluten, high in sodium with no amino acids.
@richardrotshild56837 жыл бұрын
Susan Field gluten= protein. Protein consists of amino acids. Gluten is only bad for some people, who have allergy to it or celiac disease.
@DORKSIDE6167 жыл бұрын
Richard Rotshild. This is what I read :- 4 Reasons to Not Eat Seitan 1. Gluten City So again, seitan is the gluten component of wheat. It’s purely gluten. So for anyone who has celiac disease, a gluten sensitivity or is just generally looking to reduce the amount of gluten in his or her diet, this is not a food you want to eat. Gluten-free recipes are super popular these days. Everyone seems to be trying to reduce gluten intake. People are even cutting out food products that have very small amounts of gluten. Well, seitan is atop of the list when it comes to gluten-heavy foods. You literally can’t get more gluten-centric than a meat substitute purely made from wheat gluten. 2. Not a Complete Protein Seitan and lean meat may have similar amounts of protein, but they’re by no means equatable. Seitan does not contain all of the essential amino acids while meat contains all of the essential amino acids that our bodies need to function. Seitan might be a protein food, but it cannot be classified as a complete protein. (1) Why are amino acids important? Our bodies require amino acids in order to create proteins that repair body tissue, enable growth and break down food. Amino acids also assist with muscle control, muscle tissue formation and protection of the body’s nervous system. In addition, they increase the production of growth hormones in the body, such as testosterone. It’s clearly highly important that we all consume foods rich in amino acids on a regular basis. 3. Allergy Promoting? Seitan recently made a recent list of “7 Foods a Nutritionist Would Never Eat.” Many health experts stay away from seitan because, like me, they really don’t believe it to be a healthy form of protein. Wheat gluten is a highly allergenic protein. When you consume most wheat-centric products, like wheat bread, there is naturally going to be a small amount of wheat gluten present. What’s more concerning is when you see “wheat gluten” added to the bread. This definitely means that the gluten content is higher. Commercial bakers typically like to add a lot of extra gluten to their products, especially whole wheat breads, since whole wheat flour has a lower gluten density than white flour. When it comes to seitan, you just get a mega dose of wheat gluten. There might not be seitan-specific research yet, but it’s hypothesized that eating gluten-heavy foods like seitan may increase gluten allergies and gluten intolerance symptoms. If you don’t already have a problem with gluten or wheat, you certainly don’t want to consume anything to promote one. Once you have a food allergy or sensitivity to gluten or wheat, whenever you consume a product containing these ingredients it’s going to trigger inflammation in your body - and as I always try to remind my readers, inflammation is at the root of most diseases. 4. High Sodium Content Most people who eat seitan probably don’t make it at home. They most likely eat it at restaurants or buy it pre-made at the store. This seitan is almost definitely an ultra-processed food. These highly processed versions are typically hazardously high in sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure and a host of other health problems. For example, a half cup of one pre-made seitan contains 576 milligrams of sodium. (2) That’s about 25 percent of your daily allowance right there. These overly processed seitans typically contain other filler ingredients that may or may not be bad for your health (like sugar). So unless someone is making seitan at home, it most likely is going to be loaded with unhealthy additives, and that’s not healthy for anyone, especially if you already struggle with hypertension or heart problems.

I'm gonna head into town in the week to see if the health food shop has some wheat gluten for me to try this so I can surprise my family next month :) Thanks, lads, you've really helped me out, of all the things I've tried I've used your recipes most (homemade Bounty bars, shepherdless pie, and a couple of others so far), I think this one will be the most satisfying yet :)

Watch your canned chickpeas - mine were rather hard and wouldn't mash properly, so blending them or lightly pre-cooking them might be required depending on the brand so they will achieve the desired consistency when mashed. I will try another brand next time. :) I didn't have vegetable stock, so I used a vegan beef stock instead. Delicious!

The smell is kinda good reminiscent of carne asada but i added black pepper too. The garlic everywhere helps a lot! I left it in the broth overnight. But the smell also smells bad too. Weird! It taste great especially the caramelized bits. Didn’t have the chickpeas so it came out spongy but it worked as a very crunchy but tender on the inside!!! VWG Asada truck. P.S. it was a fucckkin forearm workout 🏋🏻♀️

Video is great! I'll give this a try for sure. I think thinly slicing the seitan, then marinating before for a very quick high temp searing on BBQ or Pan would make for a killer "flank steak" or "Philly Cheese" sandwich. Would be kill with picked veggies and cashew cheese. !

I just did this today but instead of frying it i threw it on my grill and gave it a nice little crunchy crust. It was sooooo good!!!

I want to try this but add a little beet juice, or beet mash, and some mushroom powder.
@queentina47able5 жыл бұрын
I used chickpea flour instead of the mashed ones beets the tomatoes paste and some liquid smoke. It was so good it tasted and looked like steak.

My brother is a dedicated meat eater, doesn't wanna eat anything unless there's a cow involved somewhere. Do let me know if your family can tell the difference :)

Sofia Castro Luz As a vegetarian of 24 years, let me assure you that there are few fake meats that come anywhere close to the real thing. Much better to have the attitude that you're eating a tasty alternative. Just my 2 cents 😉
@sofiacastroluz1957 жыл бұрын
Well I've made some burgers and bolognese where my family members had to double check with me whether they had meat or not, it's a great reaction because people often think they cannot beat the classic meaty dishes

Melanie Willard - How is it dishonest? Parents will sneak vegetables in certain recipes for children. You also have people who have to sneak medication in their elderly loved ones meals. If a family member is hesitant about eating something vegan, it's always nice to surprise them so they can try it without clouded expectations. They're a healthier alternative and if they can't tell the difference, then it could convince them to have more of an open mind for future recipes. I remember going to a buffet and saw some faux meat, I grabbed it thinking it was vegan but it tasted TOO realistic. I asked the gentleman & he reassured me it wasn't real. I was with my sister who was shocked. After that day, she stopped teasing me about "missing out". Clearly I wasn't. Plus I enjoyed the same foods without the guilt.

As somebody who is on day 5 of a vegan lifestyle, and somebody who cooks in bulk (food prep), Can you tell me the best way to cook these in bulk. Which is easier to store, the Seitan just after it is simmered, or after it is fried? Cheers,
