I made this today. And it was my first time trying it homemade. Learned I needed to sear it in a pan and season some more until I got it right. Gave my dad some and he didn’t know it wasn’t meat. Thanks for this recipe.
Hi +cinnysangel - Thanks for the tip. I'm going to make seitan for the first time tomorrow (I keep saying this, and keep finding reasons to put it off until the next day), and you mentioning that you seared it, and your dad really liked it, was just what I needed to hear. My dad lives with us, and is strongly against vegan food. Thinks it all just a gimmick to get your money. But Connie's recipe, along with your tip of searing it, just might do the trick!
I made a full batch yesterday minus the agar agar (I need to get some). It turned out fantastic. So tender we cut them with a fork. Half of them we had with roasted sweet potatoes and sauteed asparagus. The other half we left in fridge till next day (out of the liquid to stiffen up a bit). Then we battered in panko, fried and had with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob and WOW!!!! There is no way anyone would know it's not meat. My family said more please. Thank you so much for everything.
Hi Connie. I made the Steakette for my husband and I for dinner and it's was absolutely delicious. OMG I couldn't believe how good they taste. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
I made seitan for the very first time tonight thanks to you. I Always thought it was too much work but you made look simple enough for me to do. My “steaks” turned out great! I seared them in a pan with olive oil and vegan butter and topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions. Delish! Thank you! PS I hashtagged you on instagram
I used this fantastic recipe, but added in the soy milk made from powder instead of the water in the beet purée. I love what it does for the flavor and texture; thanks for sharing that trick in your other recipes! Then I made my little steakettes into schnitzel that I served with mashed potatoes and a big green salad! My little boy, who’s 10, absolutely LOVED it! Thank you so much!😀❤️
Connie is my go-to for the meats & cheeses, also love Cooking With Plants for cheeses too. They're great for that good ol' homemade cooking. AvanteGardeVegan & Anarchist Kitchen are when I just want a bit of upscale cuisine & feel like I'm a chef in a fancy restaurant 😜 Altogether, I watch them & wonder how anyone could think vegan food is boring. Ppl don't know what they're missing!
Today is my anniversary! I have been vegan for one whole year!😀🥑🍅🥔🥦🥒🍇🍎🍏🍐Chef Connie l just want to take time to thank you once again for sharing all of these inspiring vegan recipes. You are so awesome! And l appreciate you!A few weeks ago I prepared your steakette recipe for my non-vegan husband and he loved it. I must confess that didn't mention the fact that it was seitan meat when l served it to him. He didn't ask and l didn't tell.😉 I made a stir fry meal and sliced the steakette meat into very thin slices and served it over rice for him. Let me tell you, he ate two servings and he was asking for leftovers the next day! He kept telling me how delicious it was. This from a man who swore that he would NEVER eat "fake meat". I think that I may be on to something here!😊
i haven't eaten ''real'' meat for over 30 years. so i'm not trying to recreate something i miss. my interest in seitan is just to be an addition of a high protein inexpensive and delicious ingredient in many recipes i already cook. thank you connie you are helping so many people. much love to you
The meat people are eating it’s full of chemicals , antibiotics and parasites which causes a lot of these health problems . No wonder some of these pets people have are diagnosed with cancer and diabetes just like humans ,and what these animals eat , “ Meat”. What do they eat in winter when there is no green grass?
I love your videos, I recently found them and I’ve watched several now. You’re very passionate and informative, I’m thankful for you. Thank you for helping us who are trying to transition to a vegan lifestyle. 🙏 I’ve learned so much watching your cooking.
So funny that today I had been saying ALL DAY I want to make steak with my VWG! I literally sat at my computer to see if you have a good recipe but got sidetracked and distracted. I just got the notice that you uploaded a steak video. Ohhhh what fun it is when you think about things and they happen!!! LOL
P. Moore It's nice when coincidences happen like that. Connie is great at reading minds. She always seems to get a feel for the kind of videos we are looking for. She's magic 🤗
LOL! Connie - I love your videos, but my favorite part is at the end when you rip and shred into the finished meat, showing us the texture and color - I missed that on this video :(
You took us through this whole process and didn't even show us what it look like at the end. Pretty good idea with the Beats. Never heard about the coffee or cacao powder. Would like to give it a try.
I made this tonight and it was very good. I did not have the agar agar on hand and the meat was a bit spongy. I made a yummy mushroom gravy to put over the steaks, ...very good. My husband did like it, he said it looked and tasted like Salisbury steak. But I for sure will try use the agar next time. =)
Made yesterday wanted to put something in my curry instead of jackfruit it is fabulous I should not be surprised because I’ve made a lot of your recipes but this is amazing so easy had all the ingredients in and today I’ve doubled the recipe and making steaks for the freezer to take on holiday a big thanks for all your recipes thanks again
Excited to try this. I've been obsessed with meat alternatives and wanted something simple to try at home. I've really been loving getting meat texture without the meat. Thanks for what is hopefully another addition to the roster.
Connie! I made these "steakettes" and they were amazing! They are very versatile - I sliced one tonight and sauteed it and added fresh broccoli and a sauce and made beef and broccoli! The agar really does help the texture of these steaks! Thank you for the great recipe!!!! I posted a photo on your FB!
so, I made the Steakettes, but instead of boiling them I wrapped them individually in parchment paper and foil and steamed them in my rice cooker, and I could not help taste a piece before putting them in the fridge and wait until tomorrow with the finish product, (so good already) also could not wait till tomorrow to tell you I am so exited. By the way tomorrow I am having a daughter/mom day with my 25 yrs old baby, and guess what is happening, ...we are making together one of your recipes as a fun day project, the vegan corn beef, than you so much for all the good you are doing to us, and pray it goes all back to you and your family, love Dalida
I appreciate how you suggest alternative choices in this video, it is much more encouraging then when people from both sides get self righteous, judge and criticize others, when others are trying and in different stages. Everyone has the right and freedom to choose for themselves. My family is not vegan but we are willing to learn and have been trying different recipes and learning so we can eat healthier choices and offer vegan to those who prefer it. We don't like what they are doing to our foods and animals, and love vegetables. God is the only one we will answer to in the end, man is not my judge, he is my neighbor. Thank you Connie for your encouraging videos.
Beautiful and delicious looking steakettes. I can't wait to try this recipe. I haven't watched the no talk video yet b/c I like to hear you talk while you are explaining things while you are doing the recipes, plus I love your accent. I could listen to you talk all day. You seem like such a very happy, kind person who is very into her family & also helping us out here to learn how to make great vegan food. Many thanks and may our wonderful God bless you and yours. Sincerely, keep up the great work and you are a wonderful person and I like your philosophies.
I do have some recipes up now heere r a few ua-cam.com/channels/qDp2b2CMrPN9bsn7TAch-g.htmlsearch?query=thanksgiving ... but I will do my best to make one for you been wanting to make a ham for everone :) :D
Hi how are you, don't worry about those who are ignorant people, we who enjoy your recipes it's a blessing, I enjoy each and everyone of your recipes so far , the only adjust ing I do is to add more hot pepper .
Nice! When are you going to do a pastrami recipe (based off of your vegan corned beef recipe)? I would love to make some of that! Keep up the great work!
Hi Connie I made seitan for the first time using this recipe. Loved it, much more tender and juicy than I imagined it would be. I’m thinking that some Miso paste in the cooking liquid could add another dimension.
I love how you try to add the same minerals, that makes so much more sense than trying to make it taste like meat. That way you get the benefits without the nasty carcinogens of actual meat. I eat tofu couple times a year and seitan. I mostly eat just fruits and veggies, legumes, and seeds. But every now and then I want the flavors. And I made a beautiful seitan tofurky for thanksgiving yesterday and def took inspiration from your channel which ive been binge watching since I found it. Thank you for great content and info!
thank you!!! you sound like me mostly veggies and fruit and then I like to dabble on... a little seitan and tempeh and tofu :D Thank you so much.... Hope u had a wonderful Thanksgiving
@@conniesrawsomekitchen they don’t understand. I enjoy the texture and mouth feel of a steak, but I can’t look at a steak or eat a steak without feeling sick about the suffering of those animals Leonardo da Vinci said ‘The day will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they look upon the murder of men.’ And ‘My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.’
Made fajitas with the steakettes didn't tell my husband it wasn't meat he just added steak sauce to his 😁 ... You're making being it easy being 🌱 Miss Connie I also made your Cashew crema 😋 thank you so much for your recipes 💚
Wow, you had some very unique and great ideas about how to mimic the taste of meat. Plus, your seitan looks the most meat-like ever. Love the food science behind your ingredients - will definitely try this recipe! 🥩
Connie, I am transitioning and just love your recipes! I am sorry that some people are disrespectful. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything! You offer great alternatives .... food is a gift and it can be adapted to suit all tastes! Love the creativity. Is the secret to having seitan that isn't tough to simmer and not boil?
@@conniesrawsomekitchen yes, Connie, you are so wonderful to share these recipes. I wish you had a book, as I sit here trying to write down the ingredients! LOL You rock!
So if cows are vegans and they look so healthy , So wouldn’t it make more sense if we eat the green herbs the animals eat first hand instead of getting it second hand from eating them to get your nutrients? Green herbs was the original food for man until after the flood in Noah’s time when there wasn’t any green herbs then man started to eat animals which shorten their lifespan. Green herbs has all the nutrients your body requires. There won’t be any animals or meat in heaven , so it’s best to start getting use to vegan diets from now.
Thank you, my dear, I am remaking them for me so I have them for Thanksgiving, while my fam eat their turkey. Such a wonderful recipe, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Dalida
you can take any seitan that you cook and then mince it with a food processor and you have minced meat. Or u can buy TVP re's a link amzn.to/2xu9Wfw for you
Wow from over head view looks like red meat even when she kneaded & was pulling apart I don't consume alot of meat. I tried seitan but didn't know how to properly make it. With all the food shortages ahead I wanted to learn to make it & try to have more often. I told my sister that being vegan requires alot of creativity. Recently seen vegan cheese slices made from lupini beans. Sort of reminded me of velveeta or cheese wiz. Thanks for the video
Hi Connie....i am new to all this new vegan eating! We started less than 2 months ago and you have been the reason I have been able to b successful with this new way if cooking. I have a need....my husband loves brown beans and cornbread. It is getting chilly here in the great state if KY and he is wanting this meal again. Will u please help me to make this meal taste great for him??? Thank u so so much for your channel and all the education u instill with many other people....thanks
Couldn't agree more! I was also wondering about a coffee substitute. Also, Connie, could you mention again the type of pan you use. I mean to ask every time I watch a video and always forget. Thanks!!
Reflexology52 Welsh A "G" is short for Gangsta or Godfather. It just means "She's the boss" at something. In this case, Connie is the boss at cooking. Also a New Yorker here from Brooklyn! Connie also gives me a feeling of "home". I now live in the Midwest (Ohio), and Italians here also have that New York twang. I've always suspected that the NY accent was formed from the immigrants we've acquired there: Italians, Irish, Jews, and the British colonists.
Connie, I so admire how you make these amazing replacement dishes! No one does it like you! Could you please think of what might work as a gluten free seitan recipe? I have a medically confirmed gluten allergy, and haven't been able to find a good substitute. If anyone can figure it out, it would be you! :)
Is the mushroom powder made from a particular type of dehydrated mushrooms that’s grounded? Also, would glucomannan or xanthan powder work vs the agar? Thoughts? Thank you!!
it's hard to find mushroom powder in stores...u might be able to get some online but very expensive...what I do is go to my local Asian store and buy dry mushrooms and turn them into a powder...like this ua-cam.com/video/ISse_6Cadw0/v-deo.html and yes for flavor :D
Thanks to your awesome videos about Seitan I made my first *steaks* last night. My husband, an omni, loved it!!!! I had a steak sandwich for lunch today.. soooooo good!! Thanks Connie for all of your suggestions, help, tips and ideas. I wouldn't have tried it without your great videos
I see you use agar in many recipes. I have a product called Neat Egg (egg replacement) which is chia seeds and garbanzo beans in a powder form. Would that be a good replacement for the agar?
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Thank you so much for your response. I'll go ahead and try the neat egg then and if I'm not sure I like it, I can then get the agar and see an improvement in texture. I'm so new at this and your tips and suggestions really help immensely. I rewatch so many of your videos until the ingredients feel as familiar as onions and pepper. ;) Thanks for making this transition less intimidating.
Yes! It's not supposed to be exactly like meat, you are so right!It can look like meat and have beautiful flavors and be unique unto itself. When I first went vegetarian I went to the meat substitute section of the grocery store and was so disappointed. I was never a big meat eater due to allergies to all fowl/eggs/liver and hardley ever ate junk food such as burgers and fries take out ect. I saw fake burgers, fish sticks, seiten strips with sweet sugary sauces ect., cold cuts like bologna ect. Which I never ate even before. I thought, where is the imagination of these companies and why all imitation take out! We have a really good health food grocery store in my city but there too I was disappointed. The store specialises in all organic including meats of all kinds ect. Not too much in the meat substitutes. Mongolian beef was sooo gross. Better to learn to make our own. The cocao, coffee, mushroom, beet, I see where you are going in the flavour dept. Earthy is right!😃Another great recipe.
ur so right! When I became vegan 10 years ago I couldn't find anything in stores. If I wanted hubby on board I had to put my thinking hat on lol. And thank you!
Hi Connie, I love your channel, thank you for sharing! Quick general seitan question, if I want to try adding some chickpea flour to my seitan recipe to experiment with the flavor and texture it brings, and I'm starting out with whole wheat flour rather than pre-packaged vital wheat gluten, at which step along the way would you recommend adding in the chickpea flour?
so sorry for the late reply!!! I would add it after the washing is done :D put it in a food processor and process it till it blends together then make that meat rest before cooking.
Hello Connie I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Can you freeze the sustain once it's been coojed? If so I long will it last. Going on vacation and I want to take my own meat. Thank you in advance for your response.
I do eat raw. but I do nibble in seitan :) sometimes. As for steak spice inside, I leave it more natural only add to the outside :) like i would if it was real meat
Do I need to squeeze the liquid out of the Seitan after simmering it? Also, can it go directly to the grill or does it need to rest or sit in the fridge first? Thank you! Just found you and think you are great!
you shouldn't have to. Did it drink too much water?? when making seitan always simmer on the lowest possible. But if u have to yes pull some liquids out. Aldo resting is always better for seitan.
@@conniesrawsomekitchen I haven't made it yet. Wanted to be totally prepared "in case" and its good to know to always let seitan rest. I have only made it once, from s different recipe and it was not great. I am excited to try your recipe this week! When is your cookbook coming out? Can't wait to buy it!!
I am writing this down. Its what i am going to have for supper to ight !!) but. Ms. Connie. What could i use in place of Agar Agar .?? I have to order that next month soo do i need a substitute i can use in the meN time ?? Alsoooo. Lol. Do they freeze well before or after which cooking point..?? Ive been put a day behind the said schedule for a God givven awesome reason ... its a long story but in short i got some of my STOLEN belinging back .!! Halalu 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Im soo happy i felt like it was Christmas Morning all day yesterday... my Pots n pans my sprouting seeds just soo many things i just was soo happy to get back .. i just felt like i owed you a little explaination because i reall meant to be making those meatballs tooday .. annnyhoooo ... Lol. Yapping away as usual. Which replacemnt annd at what point do i freeze because i do want to put a plenty up soo i do want to double this recipe to have for company or just myself. I live alone so this is going to be great !!). Thank as alllwayys Ms. Connie 👍🙏💝🤗
Love your videos. In addition, you are an AMAZING artist. I have always been creeped out by dolls since childhood. I had a Chatty Kathy that I hated. Your dolls just mesmerize me. For the recipe do you need hot or cold water to mix properly? Why do you have to boil the pieces so long in broth? I've never tried Seitan but I'm going to give it a try. I don't have agar and don't know where to buy it locally but I'll try with my health food store. Thank you for your hard work in creating such good content.
thank you!!! :D as for water always cold :) it helps the gluten expand :D and grow nd yes u should be able to find agar at ur health store it might be in flakes so u will need more of it..But if you have an asian stor near by they might hqv agar powder :)
Connie, Thank you for your nice videos. I made my first vegan Seitan steak. It came out too spongy. Can you advise? Gabriella (I really would like to include more and more vegan food into my diet:- thanks to YOU!
Aww too bad it came out that way. what you have to do is remember it has to simmer really slowly! no boil what so ever... U can also try wrapping them separately and oven cook them. And the trick of seitan is to recook them the day after instead of the same day, for better results. And more flour than water when making your dough that will help too. Steaming them instead of simmering is also better for a firmer meat
I made this today. And it was my first time trying it homemade. Learned I needed to sear it in a pan and season some more until I got it right. Gave my dad some and he didn’t know it wasn’t meat. Thanks for this recipe.
yes some nice searing with some good vegan worcestershire sauce... soo good :) glad he liked it!!
Hi +cinnysangel - Thanks for the tip. I'm going to make seitan for the first time tomorrow (I keep saying this, and keep finding reasons to put it off until the next day), and you mentioning that you seared it, and your dad really liked it, was just what I needed to hear. My dad lives with us, and is strongly against vegan food. Thinks it all just a gimmick to get your money. But Connie's recipe, along with your tip of searing it, just might do the trick!
My heart warms whenever you encourage viewers to be kind to animals. Thank you!
awwww thank you!
Laura Smith, You are a really good person
Silly remark ! Cow's don't eat flesh. ❤😂
I can't believe that anyone could have any harsh words for you. You give lifesaving information and share the most beautiful and tasty recipes!
I get them on most of my vegan meat recipes lol It doesn't bother me as much anymore.Blessings to you!
I made a full batch yesterday minus the agar agar (I need to get some). It turned out fantastic. So tender we cut them with a fork. Half of them we had with roasted sweet potatoes and sauteed asparagus. The other half we left in fridge till next day (out of the liquid to stiffen up a bit). Then we battered in panko, fried and had with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob and WOW!!!! There is no way anyone would know it's not meat. My family said more please. Thank you so much for everything.
awesome I am so glad you all love them :D Yes the agar is new for me too lol. But never used it before. so it is fine to make without.
Hi Connie. I made the Steakette for my husband and I for dinner and it's was absolutely delicious. OMG I couldn't believe how good they taste. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
so so glad you like them thank you for sharing this with me!!

Roasted barley tea is yummy too! Tastes like coffee without the caffeine. Between you and Avantegarde Vegan, I am in Vegan Food heaven!

I always use the leftover seitan broth to cook some banging rice to go with whatever seitan dish I made p:
Now THAT is a great idea!
You sound like a nice lady. I apologize for any mean feedback.
thank you!!!
Looks fantastic. I love the Seitan with the agar. Next time I'm going to add the pork seasoning right in the meat. That seasoning is awesome.
so glaad u like it Kari :)
Coffee, cocoa, beets!? How do you think of this stuff - amazing!
hehehehe I dream of them lol I work in my sleep lol
LOL! Connie - I love your videos, but my favorite part is at the end when you rip and shred into the finished meat, showing us the texture and color - I missed that on this video :(

I followed your recipe and its the best I've ever had!
Great to hear! this makes me happy!
Hi Connie I made seitan for the first time using this recipe. Loved it, much more tender and juicy than I imagined it would be. I’m thinking that some Miso paste in the cooking liquid could add another dimension.
yes for sure It h adds a wonderful flavor. experiment and see all the wonderful recipes u can create just by adding different ingredients :D
Steve, how much miso would you add? I have not used it yet
I love how you try to add the same minerals, that makes so much more sense than trying to make it taste like meat. That way you get the benefits without the nasty carcinogens of actual meat. I eat tofu couple times a year and seitan. I mostly eat just fruits and veggies, legumes, and seeds. But every now and then I want the flavors. And I made a beautiful seitan tofurky for thanksgiving yesterday and def took inspiration from your channel which ive been binge watching since I found it. Thank you for great content and info!
thank you!!! you sound like me mostly veggies and fruit and then I like to dabble on... a little seitan and tempeh and tofu :D Thank you so much.... Hope u had a wonderful Thanksgiving
Transition?? LOL I quit eating meat in 2005 and I still enjoy meat analogues on a regular basis :)
lol some people feel if u eat seitan u can't give up meat lol
hahaha I gave up meat and now eat seitan. Seitan is the gateway drug to vegan.....
it is lol :D I eat mostly raw but I do love that seitan!
@@conniesrawsomekitchen they don’t understand. I enjoy the texture and mouth feel of a steak, but I can’t look at a steak or eat a steak without feeling sick about the suffering of those animals
Leonardo da Vinci said ‘The day will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they look upon the murder of men.’ And ‘My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.’
@@rosetropea Amen Rose you said it so well!!!
Looks very tender. Thanks for sharing.
my pleasure and yes it really is nice and tender yet has all the protein a body needs
Made fajitas with the steakettes didn't tell my husband it wasn't meat he just added steak sauce to his 😁 ... You're making being it easy being 🌱 Miss Connie I also made your Cashew crema 😋 thank you so much for your recipes 💚
thank you Jes for enjoying them!! :D
Thank you for the recipe! Looked delicious! I'm going to try it.
Wow, you had some very unique and great ideas about how to mimic the taste of meat. Plus, your seitan looks the most meat-like ever. Love the food science behind your ingredients - will definitely try this recipe! 🥩
Thanks for watching! hope you like it
Your videos make me so happy.
THANK YOU!!! :D
You are very inspiring! What you cook is just amazing. Bravo!
thank you!!!
My mouth is watering, thanks again Connie for another great recipe :)
ur so welcomed and thank you for watching!
Been enjoying seitan more and more lately. This looks really good!
that's awesome :D
Another great looking recipe. I am making you agar meat tonight with mashed potatoes and salad. I love your recipes!
yumm!!! Mashed potatoes yumm! Mabe I will make some tonight :D enjoy! come back and let me know how u liked it :)
Kyla Crawford how does the agar benefit the texture?
She accidentally added it to her gluten mix and it came out very well. See this video:
ua-cam.com/video/KDJ78BobXgc/v-deo.html
Martina Whitey It gives the "meat" a more gummy texture and it helps it pull & break apart like real meat.
Connie, I am transitioning and just love your recipes! I am sorry that some people are disrespectful. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything! You offer great alternatives .... food is a gift and it can be adapted to suit all tastes! Love the creativity.
Is the secret to having seitan that isn't tough to simmer and not boil?
thank you so much and yes always simmer and don't use too much VWG
That looks so good!!! I just recently made vegan “steaks” and wow! I was amazed at how it looked like the real thing!
Hope you enjoyed
Cows are vegan just like you Mrs. Connie. How ignorant of that troll to say, senza senso. Don't give that troll any of your beautiful energy.
I don't :) thank you so much! :D have such wonderful supporters out there
@@conniesrawsomekitchen yes, Connie, you are so wonderful to share these recipes. I wish you had a book, as I sit here trying to write down the ingredients! LOL You rock!
So if cows are vegans and they look so healthy , So wouldn’t it make more sense if we eat the green herbs the animals eat first hand instead of getting it second hand from eating them to get your nutrients? Green herbs was the original food for man until after the flood in Noah’s time when there wasn’t any green herbs then man started to eat animals which shorten their lifespan. Green herbs has all the nutrients your body requires. There won’t be any animals or meat in heaven , so it’s best to start getting use to vegan diets from now.
Thank you, my dear, I am remaking them for me so I have them for Thanksgiving, while my fam eat their turkey. Such a wonderful recipe, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Dalida
Happy Holiday Dalida
This looks so good and simple! Is there a written recipe somewhere? Thank you!
No, sorry for now you have to watch the video to see how I make it and what I use. :) Hopefully I will have one on my website
Dear Connie, please tell us how to make ground beef. I want to make a cuban dish called Picadillo. Thanks
you can take any seitan that you cook and then mince it with a food processor and you have minced meat. Or u can buy TVP re's a link amzn.to/2xu9Wfw for you
I tried the recipes today, wow amazing taste like the real one, thank you Connie 💖
so glad u like it :D
Tank you I will tray to make this recipe
Hope you enjoy
Did this today. Sooooo good. Thanks for the recepie.
glad you like it!!! :D thanks for sharing this with me Ann
Connie's RAWsome kitchen How long does seitan last in frige? I'm the only vegan in my family and this is enough for three dinners/days.
Wow from over head view looks like red meat even when she kneaded & was pulling apart I don't consume alot of meat. I tried seitan but didn't know how to properly make it. With all the food shortages ahead I wanted to learn to make it & try to have more often. I told my sister that being vegan requires alot of creativity. Recently seen vegan cheese slices made from lupini beans. Sort of reminded me of velveeta or cheese wiz. Thanks for the video
best thing u can do is make more vegan food :D enjoy!
The three little bears lol cute Connie.
hahahahaha
Where did you get them at how much? I like glass lids with vent holes.
I got them at Canadian tire for100.00 on sale last year. but u can get them on Amazon
Wow!!! So realistic looking. Great video!!
thank u!!!
Hi Connie....i am new to all this new vegan eating! We started less than 2 months ago and you have been the reason I have been able to b successful with this new way if cooking. I have a need....my husband loves brown beans and cornbread. It is getting chilly here in the great state if KY and he is wanting this meal again. Will u please help me to make this meal taste great for him??? Thank u so so much for your channel and all the education u instill with many other people....thanks
I will do my best!!! :D
looks delicious!!!!!
thank you!
Love your recipes! And adore you! ....do you think chicory or a coffee substitute would work?
I don't see why not :D
Couldn't agree more! I was also wondering about a coffee substitute. Also, Connie, could you mention again the type of pan you use. I mean to ask every time I watch a video and always forget. Thanks!!
Connie's RAWsome kitchen thanks lovely lady! Keep doing what you do! :)
“Do good and good comes back to you” Beautiful words! 🌱Go Vegan 🌱
yes :D
Connie what recipe of yours would you recommend to chop-up into cubes for Thanksgiving dinner? I will add gravy, potatoes, peas, etc. Help!
yes u can :D brown them in a pan with some olive oil and onions and steak spices it will be so good
This lady is a "G". She sounds like she's Jewish or from NY or both lol. Love your channel! So glad I found it!
hehehe Italian from Montreal pretty simmilar to NY heheheh thank you!
dreamsjv could I ask what a "G" is? I may b wrong, but I thought she said she was Italian?
Reflexology52 Welsh A "G" is short for Gangsta or Godfather. It just means "She's the boss" at something. In this case, Connie is the boss at cooking. Also a New Yorker here from Brooklyn! Connie also gives me a feeling of "home". I now live in the Midwest (Ohio), and Italians here also have that New York twang. I've always suspected that the NY accent was formed from the immigrants we've acquired there: Italians, Irish, Jews, and the British colonists.
Glad I can be part of ur memories :)
I am Italian :) G can be gangster lol
Connie, I so admire how you make these amazing replacement dishes! No one does it like you! Could you please think of what might work as a gluten free seitan recipe? I have a medically confirmed gluten allergy, and haven't been able to find a good substitute. If anyone can figure it out, it would be you! :)
I will do my best :D
GENIALE!! Sei bravissima Connie!
grazie!
Hey Connie - did you fry or grill after you showed them boiling? They looked fried with seasoning. Did you use one of your special seasonings?
Hi Connie. This looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. Do you use cooked beets or raw or does it make a difference.
thanks Kelley always raw :D blend it up with some water and add it in :) I find the cooked beets loses it's colour if making a roast
I’ve been watching you for a while thank you for your efforts. Where can I print out the recipe
I'm working on it, I will do my best working on doing pdf files
Is the mushroom powder made from a particular type of dehydrated mushrooms that’s grounded? Also, would glucomannan or xanthan powder work vs the agar? Thoughts? Thank you!!
shiitake :D I find they are the most earthy. also I have not tried any gum but agar.
Is the mushroom poder for flavor? I don't have mushroom powder, never seen it in stores around me. Is there a substitute?
it's hard to find mushroom powder in stores...u might be able to get some online but very expensive...what I do is go to my local Asian store and buy dry mushrooms and turn them into a powder...like this ua-cam.com/video/ISse_6Cadw0/v-deo.html and yes for flavor :D
I couldn't find mushroom powder either, I made my own by slowly dehydrating fresh mushrooms and then grinding in coffee grinder, or Nutra-bullet etc.
really pretty. maybe add frozen butter/oil/fatty stuff to make the meat, fatty ish?
beet (?) me too it- I used coffee in mine the other day
smart!!
What can I use instead of the vital yeast because I am allergic to wheat and yeast?
Thanks to your awesome videos about Seitan I made my first *steaks* last night. My husband, an omni, loved it!!!! I had a steak sandwich for lunch today.. soooooo good!! Thanks Connie for all of your suggestions, help, tips and ideas. I wouldn't have tried it without your great videos
Thank you for sharing this with me :D!!! And most of all so happy you both enjoyed it :D
Hi Connie! Could I use kappa instead of the agar? Or, is there another substitute for agar that you would recommend? Thanks! :)
I see you use agar in many recipes. I have a product called Neat Egg (egg replacement) which is chia seeds and garbanzo beans in a powder form. Would that be a good replacement for the agar?
agar becomes gellatnous and that won't do the same thing but you can still use it and make a different meat and it will still be good
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Thank you so much for your response. I'll go ahead and try the neat egg then and if I'm not sure I like it, I can then get the agar and see an improvement in texture. I'm so new at this and your tips and suggestions really help immensely. I rewatch so many of your videos until the ingredients feel as familiar as onions and pepper. ;) Thanks for making this transition less intimidating.
Yes! It's not supposed to be exactly like meat, you are so right!It can look like meat and have beautiful flavors and be unique unto itself. When I first went vegetarian I went to the meat substitute section of the grocery store and was so disappointed. I was never a big meat eater due to allergies to all fowl/eggs/liver and hardley ever ate junk food such as burgers and fries take out ect. I saw fake burgers, fish sticks, seiten strips with sweet sugary sauces ect., cold cuts like bologna ect. Which I never ate even before. I thought, where is the imagination of these companies and why all imitation take out! We have a really good health food grocery store in my city but there too I was disappointed. The store specialises in all organic including meats of all kinds ect. Not too much in the meat substitutes. Mongolian beef was sooo gross. Better to learn to make our own. The cocao, coffee, mushroom, beet, I see where you are going in the flavour dept. Earthy is right!😃Another great recipe.
ur so right! When I became vegan 10 years ago I couldn't find anything in stores. If I wanted hubby on board I had to put my thinking hat on lol. And thank you!
I'm anxious to try this. These look fast and delicious. How long can they be kept in the refrigerator before grilling?
a couple of weeks for sure. but u can freeze them and take them out when u need them :D
love you girl! you go!
Love u all too!!!
I was wondering what kind of cookware you used. Thanks for letting us know.
I love them and I got them on special so it was a must to buy!!! :D
I just found some online but can't decide which set to get.

You are such a doll. Thank you Sweetie.
ur very welcome!
what type of mushroom powder do you use? Shiitake? Porcini?
I get dry shiitake mushrooms at my local Asian store
Hi Connie, I love your channel, thank you for sharing! Quick general seitan question, if I want to try adding some chickpea flour to my seitan recipe to experiment with the flavor and texture it brings, and I'm starting out with whole wheat flour rather than pre-packaged vital wheat gluten, at which step along the way would you recommend adding in the chickpea flour?
so sorry for the late reply!!! I would add it after the washing is done :D put it in a food processor and process it till it blends together then make that meat rest before cooking.
Hello Connie I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Can you freeze the sustain once it's been coojed? If so I long will it last. Going on vacation and I want to take my own meat. Thank you in advance for your response.
MY PLEASURE AND THANK YOU :) YES I HAVE FREEZED THEM FOR MONTHS :)
Hi Connie, I see you have a several different vegan steak recipes. which one would you consider to be the best recipe out of your videos? Thanks
this one for sure :D they are all good. just show people there are different ways of making it. :) But this one is very good :)
Thanks, I will make this within the next couple days and I will let you know how it turned out. Thanks so much
Hi Connie, this looks really good. How did you season the seitan when you pan fried it?
i used olive oil some Montreal steak spice and a splash of vegan worcestershire sauce
hi Connie, can I steam the seitan or maybe bake it? If yes, I should wrap it in cheesecloth right?
for sure try different way andd see what suits you :D I tell everyone you have to mastr seitan :D try till you get it right :D
no wrapping needed u can steam it and then at the end u can pan fry it with olive oil and steakspices
@@conniesrawsomekitchen thank you so much Connie! You're a gem!
Sounds experimental and I definitely wanna try it! Why didn't you put steak seasoning into the Seitan? Aren't you eating raw anymore?
I do eat raw. but I do nibble in seitan :) sometimes. As for steak spice inside, I leave it more natural only add to the outside :) like i would if it was real meat
Do I need to squeeze the liquid out of the Seitan after simmering it? Also, can it go directly to the grill or does it need to rest or sit in the fridge first? Thank you! Just found you and think you are great!
you shouldn't have to. Did it drink too much water?? when making seitan always simmer on the lowest possible. But if u have to yes pull some liquids out. Aldo resting is always better for seitan.
@@conniesrawsomekitchen I haven't made it yet. Wanted to be totally prepared "in case" and its good to know to always let seitan rest. I have only made it once, from s different recipe and it was not great. I am excited to try your recipe this week! When is your cookbook coming out? Can't wait to buy it!!
@@brendawalker8050 ok :D not yet still working on it. Not enough hours in a day!!! hopefully soon
If i processed dry shiitake mushrooms, do you think that powder would be like you use?
Meesha Me yup! That's what I do and it works great
Lauren Griffiths great thanks :)
That meat LOOKS REAL! ;)
Is this with raw or cooked beets?
Raw.
NO cooked!
I am writing this down. Its what i am going to have for supper to ight !!) but. Ms. Connie. What could i use in place of Agar Agar .??

don't USE ANYTHING IF U DON'T HAVE AGAR ...INSTEAD OF WATER USE NON DAIRY MILK
Love your videos. In addition, you are an AMAZING artist. I have always been creeped out by dolls since childhood. I had a Chatty Kathy that I hated. Your dolls just mesmerize me.
For the recipe do you need hot or cold water to mix properly? Why do you have to boil the pieces so long in broth? I've never tried Seitan but I'm going to give it a try. I don't have agar and don't know where to buy it locally but I'll try with my health food store. Thank you for your hard work in creating such good content.
thank you!!! :D as for water always cold :) it helps the gluten expand :D and grow nd yes u should be able to find agar at ur health store it might be in flakes so u will need more of it..But if you have an asian stor near by they might hqv agar powder :)
If you cant find agar, try caraggeanan. You might have an easier time finding agar in an Asian supermarket. I usually just buy mine online.
have u tried kappa?? I still need to try kappa :)
Connie, Thank you for your nice videos. I made my first vegan Seitan steak. It came out too spongy. Can you advise? Gabriella (I really would like to include more and more vegan food into my diet:- thanks to YOU!
Aww too bad it came out that way. what you have to do is remember it has to simmer really slowly! no boil what so ever... U can also try wrapping them separately and oven cook them. And the trick of seitan is to recook them the day after instead of the same day, for better results. And more flour than water when making your dough that will help too. Steaming them instead of simmering is also better for a firmer meat
@@conniesrawsomekitchen , Thank you for your speedy reply,- Connie,
I'll try to simmer! Best regards, Gabriella
@@gabriellalaki9759 ur very welcome :D
