Ingredients

• 16 ounces Seitan
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the seitan into thin strips resembling beef slices.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, tomato paste, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Mix until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this to the sauce mixture and stir thoroughly.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the seitan slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.

Step 5

Pour the sauce over the seitan in the skillet. Stir to coat the seitan evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the seitan absorbs the flavors.

Step 7

Add the sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Vegan Hawaiian Barbecue Beef with steamed rice and your favorite vegetable sides.
