Ingredients
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 quarters cup Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and soy sauce.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until it begins to form a dough.
Step 5
Knead the dough by hand for about 3-4 minutes on a clean surface until it becomes firm and elastic.
Step 6
Shape the dough into a log about 6-8 inches long and 2 inches thick. Wrap the log in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure it tightly.
Step 7
Place the wrapped log on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 8
After 30 minutes, remove the log from the oven, carefully unwrap it (it will be hot and steamy), and slice the seitan into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Step 9
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Add the seitan slices and pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and slightly crispy.
Step 11
Serve the vegetarian breakfast steaks hot with your favorite breakfast accompaniments such as eggs, toast, or potatoes.
