Directions

Step 1

Cut the seitan into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the seitan chunks to the marinade and mix well until each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated seitan chunks onto skewers, alternating with red onion wedges and green bell pepper chunks.

Step 6

Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the seitan is nicely charred in places.

Step 7

Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute per side or until soft and pliable.

Step 8

Serve the vegan beef souvlaki skewers with warm pita, cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and vegan tzatziki sauce.

Step 9

Assemble by placing grilled seitan and vegetables atop pita bread, and garnish with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious and satisfying vegan beef souvlaki!
