Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water (for flax egg)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup Vegan cheese shreds
• 0 as needed Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) with 1 cup of water and soy sauce. Allow it to rehydrate for about 10 minutes until the TVP has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and form a flax egg.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, sautéed onions and garlic, nutritional yeast, flax egg, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Stir in the all-purpose flour to help bind the mixture together.

Step 6

Add the bread crumbs and vegan cheese shreds to the mixture, gently combining until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom.

Step 9

Fry the patties in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the vegan cheesy beef patties warm, either on their own or in a sandwich bun with your favorite toppings.
