Marinade
1

Add the ingredients for the seitan steaks in your food processor (except vital wheat gluten) and process until smooth.

2

Add gluten evenly on top of the wet mix, process lightly until only just combined. Do not want to over mix or the steaks could turn out tough.

3

Turn the seitan dough onto the counter. Do not kneed. Press into a disc approximately 8-9 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick. Portion steaks into 4-6 pieces. Wrap steaks individually in tin foil, wrap loosely to leave room for expansion during steaming.

4

Place in your steamer basket (pot) with lid and steam for 30 minutes over medium heat, flipping them halfway through.

5

Meanwhile, add all the marinade ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together until sugar is dissolved. Set aside

6

When steaks are done, remove from foil packets and place in a shallow dish or a large freezer bag. Pour the marinade evenly over the steaks. Marinade for a minimum of one hour or longer. Leave for 3-6 hours for better flavour and texture or overnight.

7

Cook the steaks on your grill pan or bbq over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Lightly char for added flavour. Baste frequently with the marinade.

8

Remove from pan. Drizzle with extra marinade and enjoy in fajitas, tacos, quesadillas or wraps with Sonora Tortillas.
