  • Here is my first attempt at making seitan “steak”.
    SEITAN STEAK
    Yields about 8 servings
    DRY INGREDIENTS
    3 CUPS OF VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN FLOUR
    2 TSP GARLIC POWDER
    2 TSP ONION POWDER
    3 TBSP BEET ROOT POWDER
    4 TBSP NUTRITIONAL YEAST
    1 TBSP VEGAN BOUILLON
    2 TBSP UMAMI MUSHROOM POWDER
    1 TBSP COCOA
    1 TBSP INSTANT COFFEE
    WET INGREDIENTS
    1 1/2 CUP OF MASHED POTATOES
    2 1/2 CUPS SOY MILK (HOT)
    4 TBSP LIQUID AMINOS
    2 TBSP RED COOKING WINE
    2 TBSP VEGAN WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
    2 TBSP SESAME OIL
    2 TSP LIQUID SMOKE
    WHITE DOUGH FOR MARBLING:
    1/2 CUP VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN FLOUR
    1/2 CUP SOY MILK (HOT)
    1/2 CUP MASHED POTATOES
    3 TBSP VEGAN BUTTER
    1 TSP SMOKED SALT
    1.) Cook and mash the potatoes. Set aside.
    2.) Mix dry ingredients together.
    3.) Mix mashed potatoes in with the wet ingredients.
    4.) Combine the dry and wet ingredients together until creating a dough.
    5.) knead the dough for 5 minutes.
    6.) Mix the ingredients for the white dough together. This is for marbling effect.
    7.) Combine both doughs by stretching and kneading the dough together.
    8.) Make two separate dough balls (one smaller than the other).
    9.) Rest the dough for 2 hours.
    10.) Cut the biggest dough ball into three strips and braid it together. Wrap it with the leftover dough ball.
    11.) Season and brown the seitan dough on all sides and wrap it in cheese cloth.
    12.) Place the wrapped seitan into a baking dish and fill it with water. Season the broth.
    13.) Bake at 375 degrees for 2.5 hour. Add more water and flip the seitan every 30 minutes.
    NOTE: This step is important, it guarantees that the seitan cooks evenly.
    14.) Rest the seitan overnight for best results.

    Yessica, master of all things Seitan, I did a half recipe yesterday and left out the marbling. The finished roast rested in the refrigerator over night in it's cooking liquid. this morning I cut it into steaks and fried up a couple of small end pieces and had steak and vegan scrambled eggs, outstanding very tender and juicy. This recipe takes a fair amount of time but is well worth it. I've used your weaving technique before making chickn strips, they are also very good. Thanks for the great, clearly explained recipes.

    This looks amazing and is now on my list to try this weekend!
    Just a note: I have stopped using cheesecloth, replaced it with unbleached, natural fiber muslin, or linen, fabric. No more single use - the fabric is sturdy and can be washed for reusing over and over again. It can be bound with string, or, my favorite, pinned with thin skewers to keep closed.
    It costs the same as cheesecloth but lasts forever.
    Cheers

      @@yessicainfante831 just a tip or two - when you bring home your fabric wash it in hot water to shrink it.
      Cut it oversized so it wraps fully. Wrap seitan tightly for very firm texture, loosely for soft/spongy.
      After cooking with it I usually boil a small pot of water, turn off the heat and add a cpl drops of dish soap. Then toss the cloth into this for a cpl minutes. This will get rid of almost all oils so they don't get into your laundry machine.
      Then air dry them and store them in a zip-seal bag until needed.
      Purchase unbleached, by-the-yard at a local fabric supply or even online.
      Love your channel! Cheers

    Okay so this is what’s happening in my kitchen….seitan is resting for 2 hours and the best is yet to come. I would highly recommend to be very well organized with all of your ingredients. It is a recipe with lots of moving parts (like most seitan recipes) I have a feeling though that this one is definitely going to be one of my faves. We’ll know tomorrow. Thank you Yessi for sharing your talents with the UA-cam world.

    Ever tried throwing this on a smoker? Maybe at the staged just before you sliced it. I did a WTF "steak" like that recently, using a very similar flavor profile. I would like to get a texture a little more like you had here. That said, the flavor was PERFECT. Easily the most convincing vegan steak I've ever made.

    This looks amazing - I can't wait to try it! I just have one question: if I choose to substitute the beet powder with red food coloring, should I replace the 3tbsp with more vital wheat gluten or a different dry ingredient to maintain the same amount of moisture in the dough?

I wonder if you can use potato starch for that instead of whole potatoes, or tofu for the marbling. This looked really good and I like your marbling technique 🙂

      @yessicainfante831  2 роки тому +1

      The combination of ingredients definitely help mask the vital wheat gluten taste. I still taste it, but it doesn’t bother me. I just learned that if you toast the flour before making your dough, the vital wheat gluten taste is not noticeable. I’m looking forward to trying this. I’ll keep you posted 😊

    Yessica these steaks are delicious, the flavor is out of this world, perfect in every way. I fallowed your recipe but I made only half of the ingredients as I was running out of VWG, I cooked in the oven for 2 hours as it was a smaller dough, I let it rest overnight in the fridge in the broth, I tried cold and I couldn’t stop eating them and it was only 9:30 in the morning, but when I cooked them on the pan they came soft. it reminds me the “falda” when you cook it in a stew or “puchero” ( that is what we call in Argentina, a soup with chunks of meat)
    Still delicious but not the typical meat bite. What do you think I did wrong? Should I knead it longer? Less liquid? More flour? Can be the potatoes? Thank you, your recipes are the best.

    • @yessicainfante831
      @yessicainfante831  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, it could be the potatoes. I would recommend using less next time. Sometimes the ratio of potatoes and vital wheat gluten can affect the results. The brands of vital wheat gluten vary so much. I hope this helps 😊
