Vegan steak
Until now, we occasionally used seitan that we bought in the store. Delicious! But then we saw a site somewhere that explained how to make seitan yourself. No sooner said than done. And to our surprise, we finished the seitan mixture in 15 minutes. Then, of course, let it rest, steam, marinate and bake, but that is virtually no work. And best of all: they freeze very well after steaming. So you can easily make about 10 at a time, save a few for dinner and freeze the rest.

Ingrediënten
Seitan steak
- 100 g wheat gluten
- 60 g lentils from a jar
- 60 g of pureed beetroot (optional, if you don't use beet, add an extra 40 grams of lentils)
- 30 ml tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onionpowder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 60 ml water
Marinade and baking
- 3 table spoons salty soy sauce
- pepper, salt
- butter or oil
Instructies
- Puree the beetroot and lentils in a food processor.
- Add all other ingredients and knead well. Within a few minutes a fairly juicy dough is formed. Let this dough rest for an hour in the fridge.
- Now cut the dough into 4 pieces and press flat in the shape of a steak.
- Steam or boil the seitan for 30 minutes. We used the steamer for this, but cooking also works fine. Do not let the water boil too hard, but rather let it simmer slowly.
- After the seitan is cooked, you can choose whether to prepare all steaks immediately or to freeze part of it.
- You can now marinate the steaks you are going to prepare. We used 3 tablespoons of ketjap asin, pepper and salt.
- Now fry the marinated piece in hot butter or olive oil. Turn it over after a few minutes. The seitan is already cooked so it's all about coloring and heating the steak.
- We ate these with fries and mayonnaise, delicious!
