Gluten steak (seitan)
3 cups gluten flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 tbsp. brewer’s yeast
? tsp. poultry seasoning (or a blend of sage, rosemary, & thyme)
? soya sauce
3 cups water
Broth
12 cups water
? cup soya sauce
3 tbsp. oil
4 tbsp. poultry seasoning (or a blend of sage, rosemary, & thyme)
1 tbsp. salt
4 onions
Mix all gluten steak ingredients. It works best using your hands.
Let stand for 20 minutes.
Mix all broth ingredients into large pot. Bring to a boil.
While broth is heating up, knead wheat steak ingredients again, then mould into long roll.
Slice roll into ?” pieces. (Or slice and roll into small “wheat balls”)
Place into boiling broth, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
*it expands quite a bit in pot!
*these do look like dumplings at first, but let'em sit for a bit--they will slice nicely.
*store in the broth in fridge.
that recipe someone else wrote is great but i've learned that to make the seitan/veggie steaks chewier, more like meat, you really have to mix the dough in a mixer for longer than you might by hand. also, baking instead of boiling is a different touch depending on what you're going for.
That sounds sooooooooooooooo disgusting it ought to be reported as a "gross out".
I buy the Arrowhead Mills Vital Wheat Gluten and mix it per box instructions. I make one of the broth recipes from Sarah Kramer's "La Dolce Vegan," knead the dough for about three minutes or so, divide it into two lumps, drop them in the boiling liquid, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for about 50 minutes. I freeze one piece and keep the other in the fridge. Do NOT use your seitan in a recipe the day you make it. I have discovered that it works best after having at least a day to cool down, I don't know why.
When I am ready to cook, I just slice them and cook them. You can do a really good "chicken-fried" seitan by dippig in soy milk and then dredging in a mix of flour, nutritional yeast, paprika, and whatever spices you like. It's really, really GOOD, especially when I'm not too lazy to make some gravy to go with it.
www.vegweb.com also has recipes for gluten steaks, but I have never tried them.
