Ingredients...

400g vital wheat gluten flour

100g nutritional yeast

3g paprika

3g salt

450ml water

30ml soy sauce

5g Essential Cuisine Lamb Flavoured Vegan Stock Mix

2 litres water

40g Essential Cuisine Lamb Flavoured Vegan Stock Mix

2 bay leaves

Method...

1. Whisk the gluten flour with the yeast, paprika and salt. Mix the water with the soy sauce and stock mix, add to the flour. Stir to form a dough ball. Knead for a minute to activate the gluten. Let the ball rest for a few minutes, then knead for another minute.
   
   
2. Cut into 10 even balls and flatten to desired shape.
   
   
3. Put the 40g Essential Cuisine Lamb Flavoured Vegan Stock Mix, 2 litres of water and bay leaf together and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer. This is important to ensure the seitan does not go tough.
   
   
4. Add the seitan and simmer for 30-40 minutes, partly covered and ensuring it does not boil. Remove the seitan and press dry with kitchen paper.
   
   
5. Heat up a pan with plenty of oil and cook the steaks on both sides until crispy. Place the steaks into a bowl and add a further 30g of soy sauce.
   
   
6. Cover the bowl with a lid and gently shake to fully coat the steaks. Taste and add a little more soy sauce if needed, serve.
