Ingredients
- 16 oz seitan
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 crusty sandwich rolls
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt, adjusted to taste
Directions
Step 1
Cut the seitan into slices that are approximately 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the seitan slices into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Step 4
While the seitan marinates, prepare the garlic aioli by mixing vegan mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated seitan slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and heated through.
Step 6
Toast the sandwich rolls lightly until they are warm and crisp.
Step 7
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each roll.
Step 8
Layer with lettuce, seitan steak slices, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the roll.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the sandwiches are warm and enjoy this delicious vegan meal!
