Seitan Steak

This recipe came about when I was craving salisbury steak but didn't want to use the last few Impossible burgers remaining in the freezer. Thankfully my pantry holds a giant bag of Anthony's Vital Wheat Gluten and here we are. 

This steak does not disappoint and the best part is it's quick and easy! With just a few simple ingredients and a handful of spices you'll be indulging in a tender and juicy steak with just the right amount of chew in no time, and it in no way will remind you of bread unlike so many other seitan recipes out there!

Makes: 2-4 Steaks or Burgers                       Prep Time: 10 Minutes
