Ingredients

• 1 cup vital wheat gluten
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 4 pieces seitan steaks

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it is elastic and firm.

Step 4

Shape the dough into 4 equal-sized 'chops' and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the herb crust.

Step 6

Carefully coat each seitan chop with the herb mixture, pressing it into the surface to ensure it sticks well.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Place the herb-crusted seitan chops on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the seitan chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve the vegan grilled herb-crusted lamb chops with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
