How To Make Seitan Beef Flavor Recipes

HOW TO MAKE SEITAN (BEEF FLAVOR)

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. I used my Kitchen Aid and it worked perfectly.
• Using the paddle attachment on the mixer slowly combine the dry ingredients.
• In a smaller bowl combine the wet ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
• Stop the stand mixer and add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and slowly incorporate the wet into the dry.
• I added about 4 more tablespoons of spelt flour to the mix as I thought it was too wet. Mix for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes turn the dough out onto a cutting board and form it into a loaf shape and let it sit until broth comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low at this point.
• Cut the loaf into 6 equal pieces and lower each one gently into the simmering broth and let it simmer covered for about 1 hour. Remember DO NOT LET THIS BOIL! It will create holes in your Seitan.
• The Seitan will be spongy and holes will make it even more so. You want to avoid that.
• After the hour is up remove the Seitan from the pot and place on a dish to cool. If you have room in the fridge this would be a good place to cool it down.
• Remember, it has to be thoroughly cooled before its ready. Don't be temped to dig in until it's cold.
• You can use this immediately, or store it in it's broth in the fridge for about 5 days. You can even put the big chunks in a zip lock bag and freeze.
• The Seitan can be used in place of any meat product, you can even grind it in the food processor and use it for burger if you wish.
• Another way to use this is to take a few big pieces and dip in flour, soy milk and bread crumbs and fry or bake it, then top with your favorite gravy.
• Bon Appetit!
