How to make Seitan or Meatless Steaks from scratch?

Updated: May 13, 2020

There are gazillion of vegan and vegetarian meatless products that you can find in the market now. They are very pricey and each package is not even enough to feed the whole family. Making your own is the best way to save up some money as long as you have the time to make them. I make them in big batches, then I keep them in the freezer. It really comes handy when you have an unexpected guest or when you feel like making something fast and easy. Let's get started.


SEITAN OR GLUTEN STEAKS / Easy Vegan Recipe


Measure in a large pot:


10 cups Vegetable Broth, unsalted

2 tsp. Garlic Powder

2 tsp. Onion Powder

2 pcs. Bay Leaves

2 TB Soy Sauce

1 tsp. Sesame Oil

2-3 TB Fresh Lemon Juice

1 TB Agave or any sweetener

Salt to taste


Let it come to a boiling point, then reduce it to medium heat.


Ingredients for dough in a separate bowl:


2 c. Vital Wheat Gluten

1 TB Nutritional Yeast

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

1 tsp. Onion Powder

1 tsp. Paprika

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 TB Soy Sauce

3 c. Cold Water


1. Mix and knead all the ingredients until it's all thoroughly mixed up.

2. Form into two logs, then let it set for about 15-20 minutes.

3. Slice each log into 1/4 inch thickness and drop them in the broth.

4. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stir it occasionally from the very bottom to prevent from burning.

5. Turn the heat off and let it cool.

6. It's all set for your next favorite dish or freeze them for 3-4 months.
