I wanted to make a super juicy, meaty, textured piece of tofu that could be given the name A5 Tofu Wagyu... and I think I nailed it!!
This is a combination of tofu and seitan or wheat meat and WOW does it come out meaty!

So I know this one is a long process. I always enjoy it but I know a lot of people wish things were easier. Maybe some steps could be shortened, or omitted, but I think it all adds to the realism.
What should I try next?
Why don’t you try it with the jack fruit? Since it has the fibers you may be able to accomplish the actual look of the steak. I tried the jack fruit - not the pulp but the fiber part to make pulled chicken and it came out pretty good 😊
I realize it is asking for the moon but a gluten free steak for my friend would be Amazing.
@@daniellebarker7667 For gluten free check out any of the mushroom steaks.. I make a lions mane steak thats wild and the brand Meati is out of this world!!
@@ladylm100 I've done something similar with jackfruit.. but I need to revisit it with this technique!! I'm going to do that!!! Thank you!!
Chashu for vegan ramen would be great.
i was not prepared for how straight to the point this video was. no intro, just "get your tofu and boil it"
"just get your tofu and boil it" - Put that on a t-shirt 😅
I cook steaks all the time for myself and my family but my older sister has never had the chance to eat one of my steaks because she’s vegan so I’m definitely going to add this to my liked videos and surprise her with this one day
wholesome
youre really kind! i hope you do that for her
you are great, she will love it so much!!
Not a vegan but I love the effort you put into this, it's genuinely really cool to watch the process
based Emil enjoyer
Yeah I watch this guy all the time and I’m not vegan, not even vegetarian 😅
Based Weiss fan
@@elith6930 what does based mean?
The main reason I watch this channel is to see how creative this guy is. Many of his foods actually look like real meat, and make me want to experiment with it myself, even though I’m not vegetarian. This looks promising, especially considering I cannot eat beef.
This looks genuinely great!!
This guy is a chef and a scientist
Thank you!!!! I still like to leave the chefie things up to the the legit chefs. Its cool to see the dishes people come up with using these experiments!
You have added a Ton of wonderful meat analogs to my repertoire. Your efforts are much appreciated.
@@SauceStache I appreciate the hell out of you. I don’t eat meat, and I don’t even use your recipes, but just learning tips about flavor and consistency from you helps me be a better cook. This is so interesting and I wish I had the time and my own kitchen to do this rn.
@@SauceStache you need a restaurant so we can try your ideas if we don’t feel like cooking them 🥰

You should consider doing ranking videos where you rank your own creations (maybe based on taste, cost, and effort involved) since you have so many versions of steak, bacon, etc. Love your channel, my friend.
This !!
i don’t comment often but GYATDAM, no overextended intro and just straight to it? i love it
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. Have no intention to ever cook any of these recipes. But watching him go to these levels to replicate meat dishes is insane. Kudos 👌
Even if you're not a vegan, this is a lot cheaper than an actual Wagyu 😂
@@Tubemax68 nah mate, I could have put in about 12 hours of overtime to make up the difference
Why not try them. I'm not vegan or vegetarian myself. But I like good food. I have made a lot of his dishes. And they are for the most part good.
@@MrRoden96 That's fair
as a meat eater, i would 100% try this, even just to understand. Nice video btw, liked it
"Yeah, it's good!"
Pulls out the A1 Sauce lol
I'm vegan, been vegan for years and I love to cook. I've had so much fun in my kitchen recreating your recipes. I really appreciate the work you are doing, I can't thank you enough, and you really raised the bar here. Hell yeah, brother (in gravelly pro-wrestler voice)
that is it, FUN in the kitchen is very important...who wants to cook always the same things? btw, ty for being vegan!
I did something somewhat similar by layering gluten powder between tofu skins and scrunching them up before boiling away vegan chicken broth. It was very meat like. It broke up the caked texture seytan can have.
I just love how much effort you put into making those recipes and they all come out looking really good. You always do a great job!
Outstanding, your videos are so creative! Keep up the good work
Thank you very much!
Maybe adding the beat root powder to the dry mix at the beginning would help with the color? Intersting idea.
Beetroot powder goes brown when cooked, use food coloring if you want redness
I think it's added at 1:26
I love how you’ve voiced over your videos rather than talking in them, it works really well, great job 👏
My mind is blown rn 🤯👏
Also congrats on making it to half a million followers!!!
Ahhh Renee!! Thank you so much!!! I can't believe 500k!!
Mind blowing!
Looks fantastic
Would love to see you test this out on a true blue lover of Wagyu. I see a cross over with Gugafoods in the making!
“It’s really good” *breaks out the A1* 😂
You should pin the comments who point out that this isn't meat. We would all appreciate the laugh.
hahah so far so good today!! Im kinda shocked given the title!! hahah
WOW. You are at another level now !
I love how creative you are!
Brilliant work on this "steak"! Crack me up every time I see someone rant about it...
Just a question, couldn't be possible to infuse the meaty coloration all the way through? I think it would sell the meat aspect more.
You totally could!! It would take an overnight rest in the marinade and I bet that would do it! You could also inject it or use like a meat tenderizer to get the color all the way through
@@SauceStache Great ideas and thanks for the reply! I'm really hitching to try my hand at this. Say, I just had a thought, how about somehow add jackfruit to the recipe to get these chewy meat fibers?
@@Fyr365 let us know how yours turns out!
@@bodyofhope I sure will! Though it's gonna take a while before I can try.
What about sous vide for this??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm SOLD on this!
Lots of steps. Lots of time BUT not a lot of hands on time! Good work, Mark!
Its time consuming!!! But wildly good!!! Thank you so much!!
I haven’t watched one of these videos in a while but this guy is still at it lol. Still fun to watch too
Looks really good!
Thank you!!!! It came out awesome!!
Honestly, I wish you could come cook for me; all the recipes are more time consuming than I'm likely to do, but they all sure sound delicious!
hahah I would love to cook for everyone!! I always hope that maybe little bits of these longer process recipes can be used and someone gets a halfway version of it quicker haha
I live in the same state as you, and would happily pay 100 dollars + for a 3 course meal from you. Would be awesome to have your reaction at the end of the video be subscribers for certain specials.
it's gonna be tricky but i will experiment with this for sure ♥️🥰 love your experiment videos, they are the best, this is just great! is not that long of a process either , i will have so much fun
Damn Mark! You always impress! Much love from Norway =)
Thank you very much!!
you're so creative!
LOOOOVE all of your videos!
Why doesn't this guy have his own restaurant yet? Or even just a good truck. Everything on his channel just looks amazing and I'm not even vegan. If he needed a Kickstarter for it I'd support him.
Eating off the cutting board like a true chef
just wanted to say ive been watching your videos (as a non-vegan) since around 50k subs. Love your enthusiasm and attitude. And I'm so happy to see you are above 500k subs now! KEEP GOING!
Wow thank you so much!!!!! Thank you for sticking around. Now I feel like if you do make something of mine after this long it better be something really good or it will be epically disappointing hahaha
@@SauceStache @Nicole Vella Your chili recipe tastes great and it’s also easy to make.
You should open up a vegan restaurant people would come from all over to try your recipes
I wish there was a sauce stache restaurant I could go to and sample all your delicious creations
Gross. Paused at 7:44, I tried. I find it funny that people say eating animals is bad or whatever, but they try to simulate eating animals. It's a no from me.
Ok
Always interesting stuff! Keep it coming!
Add some grilled mushroom caps and ‘creamed’ spinach! Looks delish and I can’t wait to try it!
Honestly i love this and it doesn’t even seem that intensive, there’s a lot of down time.
Looks great
Thank you!! I was stoked about it!
Im not vegan nor do I have any plans on being vegan but these videos are still so fun and entertaining, super cool.
Been experimenting with different tofu styles lately, this looks amazing!
Thank you so much!!!
Also what different styles?? Anything I should know?
I would love to try and cook this, but I’m not great at following along with videos, and don’t trust myself to guesstimate measurements. Have bad ADHD and cooking new things can bring out anxiety and stress. I’ve checked your website a few times to see if the recipe was posted there but looks like that hasn’t been updated since March. Is there anywhere online I could find the written recipe for this? Thanks!
I bet it would be really good as a door stop
i love how casual monica is
I definitely don't care enough about faking steak to ever actually attempt to make this, but I think it's really cool that you did and this video was awesome
Great job!
I wish you had a restaurant!!! It looked so yummy..
It may not be a steak, but it honestly probably stands on its own thing. That's really neat.
Looks awesome 👌 I can't have it because of the gluten but I am hoping really really hoping you can do some gluten free recipes! Us celiac fans really want to make some of your recipes 🤭
If you haven't yet, check out the tvp burger recipes. I cook this for my dad who is coeliac and not a vegan. He loves them!

You could probably do it with a good gluten free flour from the store
I agree it looks awesome.
Thank you so much!!!
I’m not vegetarian nor vegan, but I am super impressed with the effort and if it tastes good to you, I’m sure it’s worth it!
Is there anyway possible to do a Gluten Free version?
Great idea, I like that layering method 🙂
Her looking for a trash can was the funniest part
Like some of these methods you are using. I’m definitely into experimenting with tofu and gluten. Nicely done!
You say mad? Like really mad?!! I'm madly in love with this recipe 🤩😌
Any blue cheese substitutes?
I love this format. I’m OGStache. Steak looks interesting
Definitely gonna have to try this! this is awesome!
Its wild!!! Thank you
Wet tofu in the press in the freezer doesn't break it?
wish i could taste it! looks amazing
Honestly, it’s the prettiest tofu steak I’ve seen. Great job once again!
Wow this looks absolutely amazing!!!
Thank you!
And while you are making you could have raised a wagyu calf fully, butcher it and make steak out of it in the same time ^^.
Also love the description of it as A5 :)
hahaha I knew it would lite some people up!! but its a good vegan steak for sure!
I’m not vegan but I find this guys videos rlly cool & interesting
This looks amazing!!!
Love the work put into it but honestly would rather just get some wagyu, since all it needs is a little heat
Will try for sure 👌
BIG TIME MEAT EATER HERE, i would definitely try to do this mysleft, but i have never even seen lot of ingredients you use , and i doubt i could even get them where iam from :D
I really enjoy all of your videos, there is so much I want to try.
I'm thinking in my experiments I would want to try breaking up the initial tofu block to see if more surface area would capture more flavor.
I also want to try your magnet method to extract iron for this recipe.
I used knors beef stock powder in the broth. Very good
That looks great! Does your cast iron pan ever scratch your ceramic cook top? I have the same type of stove and I'm scared to use cast iron but would love to.
How does this one compare to you vs the one you did with coconut oil and carageenan?
I see both your comments... this one was good, the other was better!
Restaurant! Restaurant! Restaurant!
Your the best.
Thank you.
awesome vid!!would love to see a collab with you and gugafoods on this!
I'm not a follower of the channel so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but, do you and your wife ever eat meat? I'm sure this is delicious but I would be interested in hearing the opinion of someome who still eats the foods you're imitating.
Wow this looks INCREDIBLE!!! 😍
I can certainly see how you're bound to get quite a few dislikes with the A5 wagyu, but how much you embrace the trolliness of it, I gotta leave a like just for that alone. As a meat-eater trying to find some ways to add more plant based alternatives (even just some would be great, barely just gotten started on that front) and often cringing at many a vegan's "it's totally meat-like brah" when it clearly isn't, I really like your stuff.
That marble, fantastic.
Is there any substitute for gluten, since few people can not eat gluten?
Not in this recipe.. but I would say try some of the mushroom steaks!! Thats your best bet for gluten free!
This one looks Really awesome, Mark!! Thank you for your honest reviews, Monica!!
Thank you so much!!!
Omg you’re legit a scientist
Ive been a meat eater and im not considering to go vegan but this is so cool
This looks amazing!
Is the whole recipe in your book? I can’t seem to find it on your website.
liking this video only because the amount of effort you have put into it.. its simply too much of work. i love vegetarian foods, indian vegetable dishes i feel easy to make to me. :D additionally i know as you have said that saying this wagyu is a joke. But i personally dont like the idea of making vegetables or beans such a way that it resembles meat. however i do like to watch and appreciate the experiments that goes into making these dishes and if i really like one of these dishes will make one for me. cheers!
I need Mark to come to my house and cook these things for me. 😂😂😂😂
Love that your recipes are affordable and accessible for the average person. Thanks for that
Like the sarcasm with that. I can’t even get my hands on some of his ingredients like methyl cellulose or mushroom seasoning. The US people are lucky
I actually want to taste it. Wow that's so interesting
Looks awesome 😎
Thank you so much!!
Do you have any recipes using frozen tofu. I saw a couple recipes on the web if you freeze the tofu first the texture comes out meaty like.
Oh man! This one blew my mind! This technique of layering the vwg with the tofu is fascinating!
Do you think if you put the tofu in a food processor you'd get more even marbling?
It looks great either way!
I have a feeling that I could tell the difference between this and regular steak by taste either way looks good though and the technique is impressive. Personally though I find that vegan and vegetarian cooking really shines when it is its own thing and not trying to mimic a meat product.
You’re crazy, bro. Just love what you do…
Thank YOU!! Thank you!!
