Steps
First add the ingredients for the seitan steaks in your food processor (except vital wheat gluten) and process until smooth.
Now add the gluten evenly on top of the wet mix. Process until JUST COMBINED! You do not want to over mix or the steaks could turn out tough. See step by step photos in above post if necessary
Turn the seitan dough onto the counter. Do not kneed the dough! Press into a disc approximately 8-9 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. Portion the steaks like you would a pie, into 4-6 pieces. Wrap steaks individually in tin foil, wrap loosely to leave room for expansion during steaming.
Place in your steamer basket (pot) with lid and steam for 30 minutes over medium heat, flipping them halfway through.
Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together until sugar is dissolved. Set aside
When steaks are done, remove from foil packets and place in a shallow dish (I use my glass pie plate) or a large freezer bag. Pour the marinade evenly over the steaks. Marinade for a minimum of one hour or longer. I usually leave mine for 3-6 hours for better flavour and texture or overnight if I have time.
cook the steaks on your grill pan or bbq over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, to get some good char marks and flavour! basting frequently with the marinade.
Move to a serving platter and add a little more marinade for added juiciness. Serve and enjoy! I like my steak with a little vegan garlic butter, horseradish sauce for dipping, along side baked or roasted potatoes, corn on the Cobb and green salad or caesar salad maybe some grilled veggies too! SO GOOD! Would make an excellent vegan steak sandwich also! or sliced for stir fries, stews or soups! Lots of tasty options!

May on 2024-10-09 (5 stars): These steaks are literally incredible! They freeze beautifully and have become a staple for vegan and carnivore friends.
I'm now at the point where my friends are demanding I make batches for them to take home! 🙄😂 They make fabulous souvlaki kebabs with oat yoghurt tzaziki! Highly recommend
