    *****************************************
    SEITAN BRISKET
    Serves 6-8
    INGREDIENTS
    Wet Mixture (half will be used for braising liquid)
    1 cup marsala wine
    ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce or tamari
    ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
    2 tbsp sriracha
    3½ cups (870ml) low sodium vegetable stock
    1 small can of tomato paste, about ¼ cup (4 tbsp)
    3+ tbsp olive oil
    Whisk all above ingredients well.
    In separate bowl mix the dry batch:
    Dry Mixture
    2¼ cups (280g) vital wheat gluten flour
    ¾ cup (95g) chickpea flour
    2 tbsp chili powder
    1 tbsp paprika
    1½ tsp cumin
    2 tbsp onion granules
    2 tbsp garlic granules
    1 tbsp salt
    Fixin's
    BBQ sauce ▶︎ wickedhealthyf...
    Sliced pickles
    Sliced raw white onion
    Thick texas toast
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Prepare baking dish by coating lightly with oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
    2. Hand mix the wet and dry batches separately. Combine dry mixture with half of wet mixture. Mix until combined completely. Knead for 3 minutes until all is mixed thoroughly and the dough has an elastic texture.
    3. Form into a rough oval shape and place in baking dish. Lightly coat the raw seitan with oil.
    4. Add rest of braising liquid around the casserole dish, pouring over raw seitan.
    5. Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
    6. At the 25 minute mark, flip loaf over. Place back in oven for another 20 minutes. If you will be putting this on the grill, be sure to fire-up the grill. Prepare this BBQ sauce (wickedhealthyf...) while your seitan is cooking.
    7. Remove the seitan a few minutes before its done and baste the seitan with some of the remaining liquid in the dish. Place back in oven for another 5-10 minutes. The liquid should be almost evaporated and thickened. Remove from oven and leave to cool for a few minutes.
    8. Once the seitan is cooled, it's time to finish it on the grill. Be sure the grill is blazing hot and on high heat. In a casserole dish, or the same that the seitan was baked in, cover it with BBQ sauce being sure it coats all sides well.
    9. Place on the grill and allow to brill for about 8 minutes on each side to create the killer char that will make this finish dish.
    10. While this is grilling, gather all the fixin's to complete your BBQ board, or BBQ sandwich. Fresh sliced pickles, sliced raw white onion, Texas toast, extra BBQ sauce and of course a toll of paper towels.
    11. After flipping brisket and getting some great char on both sides, remove from grill. Its time to assemble.
    12. Slice the brisket as thin as you can and serve with all the fixin's!

    Update from earlier post: First of all, from this single recipe, my husband and I got about 7 meals total! I can't believe what a good *value* this thing is in terms of being the basis for many different meals. But, here is the real kicker! I said in my first post that this would not pass off as actual beef brisket, at least not in this format. HOWEVER, for one of the later meals, I did like the video mentions and took part of it turned it into "ground beef" that I used as a filling for taquitos/flautas. After grinding it in a blender, I sauteed it in a skillet with finely chopped onions and jalapenos and added some store-bought taco seasoning for convenience. (I'm sure a custom fresh spice blend would be better but I was just being lazy!) OMG! I am serious when I say that I don't think anybody would have a clue that this wasn't just normal beef flautas. Except for maybe it was even BETTER than beef flautas because it was very tender and didn't have any unappetizing tough pieces. Thanks again for sharing such a versatile and economical recipe!

    Another reason to add chickpea flour: gluten is only low in one essential amino acid and chickpeas are high in exactly this amino acid so together they form a complete protein

      Dear Nik K,
      Aminograms are normally only import for people which ones are getting not enough food. And also you don't have to eat every amino acid in one meal. It's completely fine if you do it eat all essential amino acids in a good amount over the day. Sry english isn't my best language.

      @Caine Neal only if you're eating raw chickpeas! the worst they can do is make you gassy! it'd be like eating any other legume raw, but chickpeas are actually the easiest of the legume family to digest. soaking and cooking them softens them up and breaks up all the fibers making them super digestible!

    Oh my goodness, y'all! I made this fabulous vegan brisket today and also made the BBQ based on his recipe. It tasted amazing and the texture was really great too. Would this pass off as actual beef brisket? Well, no. But unless somebody is just extremely biased against plant-based entrees, it is delicious in its own right and deep down satisfies the same way that good BBQ does! I followed the instructions exactly and the results were perfect. I didn't have any chickpea flour and it's not available at any stores in the small town where I live. But I felt like that was probably pretty important so I read up on how to make your own by grinding dried chickpeas. I was really skeptical that this would even work but believe it or not, it worked like a charm! I just used a regular blender and ground them, sifted them through a wire mesh strainer, dumped the larger grinds back into the blender, sifted, back and forth until I had 3/4 of a cup. It took about 6 oz of dried chickpeas to get this amount of flour. I took a "glamour shot" of the entire spread (brisket, pickles, toast, onions) and really want to show y'all but I don't guess we are allowed to post pics in these comments. Oh, well! But trust me, mine turned out just as beautiful as in this video!

That said, I’m not going to dismiss how good this looks. Instead of the oven, throw it on a stick burner or at least a pellet grill to get that deep smoke flavor. I could see this in tacos all day long.

Our family is vegan but I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't love this. The BBQ sauce is my new favorite. If you've never worked with Vital Wheat Gluten, it might be a little intimidating but it's actually a fairly easy recipe and well worth the effort. We got 8 or 9 servings from this recipe. My seitan has been pretty darned boring in comparison. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

The only thing I’m experiencing, is a much longer cook time, to get the liquid evaporated and thickened. I’m using a modern oven, with convection abilities, but I’m use regular bake. Hoping it still turns out okay. When I was a carnivore, brisket was a favorite and I’ve missed it! This seems like it will be a more than good enough substitute for me. Thanks for this video!

Had some issues on the actual BBQ (got too hot and burned real fast - as compared to meat there’s no fat) but otherwise it was crazy good. As others mentioned it’s quite a large chunk so indeed we put 1/3rd on the bbq (enough for 2 people), used another part as minced meat and the rest we thinly sliced and ate on sandwiches. I’m really really hyped about how good this is.

    I don't have a BBQ, but I do have a searing cast iron pan (that I usually use only for the pressing technique and for BBQ ribs). So I used that instead of a BBQ (rather than buying one), and it turned out just amazing! Charred almost as well. But I will invest in a small tabletop BBQ soon so I can do the whole "Sarno Effect." And I should add, this was REALLY GOOD!!! Oh, and I did add beets to the sauce as you suggested we could. Can't taste them, but I do like the texture they add. And now I can call it health food!

    Just made this. I had really low expectations because my first time making seitan (a "chicken" tenders recipe) came out 6/10 at best. I basically concluded that seitan is too rubbery rather than chewy like meat. This brisket recipe though is really good! Surprisingly good.
    My experience making it:
    I made half the batch because I was only making it for myself. Instead of the wine/alcohol I substituted with a mushroom broth (store bought) that has a base of soy milk. I also added 1/2 tbsp of liquid smoke. The gram flour I used wasn't a perfectly fine powder, so the end result was a slightly more gritty brisket (had no effect worth noting on the taste or chew). Because my batch was small, and I have a history of burning food, I initially halved the bake time at 350 F. When I flipped it I noticed it was crumbling from contact with the spoon, so I set the heat up to 375 F and kept checking back every 5-10 minutes, pulling it out to baste. I did this until the marinade completely absorbed, thickened and evaporated.
    I pulled a tiny piece off to taste and was so amused by how good it tasted. I didn't even grill it or coat it in bbq sauce. The texture was soft but had a slight chewiness like meat. I made a simple sandwich similar to the one in the video, but just like my first time, I found don't really like seitan with bread. It's not bad by any means, but the textures and density dont' have enough of a difference to be satisfying like a beyond burger might be. Nonetheless, this is genuinely great stuff to have as simple slices, snacks, or sides of a meal. Like if you just tear off bits and eat them as is, its incredibly delicious and really satisfies the meaty texture/craving. This batch will likely last me all week.
    Overall I'm really glad I tried this recipe. From the video it looks like it's a lot of work but is actually pretty quick and easy to make (a lot of seitan recipes require mashing of legumes and what not which this recipe hacks by using gram flour instead). I do recommend glass dishes when making the dough because vital wheat gluten sticks to plastic and wood relentlessly.
    Highly recommend to fellow vegans. This specific recipe has given me confidence and motivation to try more vwg/seitan recipes. Even my non-vegan non-white grandma approved this dish 😁
    For a background, I have been vegan for almost 3 years now and have never tried making seitan before 2021. This is one of the very few vegan recipes that I have gotten from the internet that I gladly intend to make again. Super happy and grateful.

      Hi I had the first same bad experience except with a different brisket recipe. For chicken, I just followed a recipe that I am absolutely in love with. I didn't knead it at all, mixed up the dough, added my yeast, sage, salt, pepper, poultry seasonings and so on to taste mixed it up and gave the dough a quick couple of kneads to make sure it was good. Heated up some sesame oil on a medium low heat (about 4 on the number dial), and let the dough sit in the fridge while it heated up.
      From there i just took the dough ripped it up into typical diced chicken sized chunks and cooked it up, about 10 minutes per side (according to the recipe notes you don't want it to cook too high of a heat or it will get rubbery), after that I threw in my own sauce and threw it with a bed of rice and some veggies and I was in absolute heaven to have something that "mimicked" chicken.
      Had the leftovers for lunch today and it was even better as the moisture in the fridge gave it that slight bite and chew chicken has and it was perfect. So if it came out really rubbery, my suggestion as I have researched and personally found that kneading less is better.
      A few posts on reddit suggested kneading no longer than a minute but really it's finding that sweet spot you like between tender and chew. Hope that helps! (PS many complaints on it being rubbery also seem to come from the fact that boiling seitan makes it really rubbery as well).

      Katya Reilkoff I had a similar experience. Ended up cutting into two pieces to flip, transferring both pieces to a larger baking dish, and adding all of the liquid. Baked for a total of 85 minutes flipping every 20 minutes after the first 25 minute period. Both pieces firmed up but there was no char and there was a lot of liquid after 85 minutes. I could definitely taste the wheat gluten even with all the flavoring. 😕 I cooled it down and put it in the fridge overnight. Will baste with BBQ sauce and grill tonight. Okay, slathered half of the brisket (other half went into the freezer) with our favorite bottled barbecue sauce and grilled as per instructions. Cooked up nicely with nice char. Sliced okay, too. Made sandwiches on big rolls with barbecue sauce, homemade garlic dill pickles and sliced onion. Good texture and flavor...but I could detect a slight wheat gluten flavor. 😕The charing really helps and I looking forward to eating it throughout the week (and whenever I get around to the piece in the freezer). Don’t think I’d make it again, though, but glad I tried it.

    I'm not a vegan, but enjoy the challenge of replacing animal products and getting a desired result. A decade ago, I decried the laziness of vegan cooking, as a shaped and seasoned soy meat substitute was all anyone seemed to offer. The textural aspect of heat denatured animal proteins are the goal, and there are many way to approach it. Wheat gluten is a good one, and I like using potato starch as well.
    My vegan veggie burgers use the gelatinous quality of wheat gluten from cracked but not powdered wheat berries, and salted and drained fresh veggies. A panko coating and high temp frying give a meaty texture. Good thinking here. I'm currently messing with kefir whey or just water kefir as leavening in vegan baking. Good to see cooking has grown. The grain wall and pulse flours are the most neglected thing in the American diet. Processed carbs, stripped of fiber, and full of GMO gluten.

      Eh, I don't know.. if you truly feel that eating meat is immoral, you absolutely should be disgusted by even the thought of the taste.. I personally feel that industrializing the killing of animals is immoral, so I only consume the meat that I am blessed with through hunting and nature. Our DNA craves the nutrients that only meat can offer, that's why we love it and it is so delicious. I do not enjoy taking the life of an animal, in fact, I cry every time I do, but I never feel bad for doing it. In fact, quite the opposite. I thank God for nature and the life of the animal, for giving me the ability to provide for my family directly from God through nature.. I am Thankfull for the wonderful delicious meat in my freezer and I never forget about the life that was taken and all the hard work that went into the process. At every meal I thank God for that animals life one more time... Eating meat is not immoral. Industrializing the killing of animals is. Hell, industrializing the manipulation of nature in any aspect is immoral.
      In conclusion- we need to eat meat to keep our DNA healthy. The issue is the source. And when you go through the process of killing and processing your own meat, moderation come naturally;)

    I showed one video to my husband and he ended up binge watching looking up what is a rutabaga is celery root real and deep diving on the smoker egg.
    I’m like yes, go do the man on the cooker things and bring me all the veggies!

    Didn’t know that you cursed while cooking too! Just saw your brother do it. Love it. Gonna try this and I’ll curse as appropriate while enjoying it.

    OMG! I thought it would be undercooked, most seitan is cooked for much longer, but the texture is AMAZING. The flavor is excellent but it chews like meat (from what I remember anyway). I stretched the dough in one direction and folded it several times and I think that created a ‘grain’ like meat has. Thank you, I love your videos.
