Hello. Please Consider mushroom steak? I see so many on YouTube from other channels - been waiting for your version. Thank you.

Hey Moises, thanks for the request! In the meantime, you may enjoy our Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms for a hearty mushroom dish 🤗

I liked this recipe but my seitan was a bit jelly. It didn’t look much like the one from the recipe so I’m not sure what could go wrong. I kept the same proportions but divided seitan into 3 portions. I was steaming in for a bit longer than in the recipe as it felt undercooked. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Hey there, Caramella! Thanks for trying the recipe and for your question. The thickness of the pieces can affect the interior texture. We suggest trying to flatten the pieces so they are no more than 2 cm thick. Anything thicker than that will need longer steaming time, so it sounds like the adjusted steaming time was the right move, but perhaps add a few more minutes so that the middle has some resistance. You could also add a bit of chickpea flour, regular flour, mashed beans, or extra beets to help mix with the gluten. Pure gluten will retain a "jelly" texture.

Yet…another amazing meal!!!! Thank you so much! I make seitan steak & chicken and using the food processor is SO MUCH easier!!! ❤️

Loved it,❤️

Do we not have to knead the seitan?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 8, 2024, 3:01 p.m.

Hi Jams! No kneading is needed for this recipe because blending the ingredients in the food processor develops enough gluten to give the seitan texture 🤗

Delicious!! Made this together with my husband (who is not vegan) today. We both loved it! With two people cooking it took much less time than the estimated 1h 40min to make. Will definitely make this again!

PS: We added 3 extra tablespoons of water to the seitan dough in the food processor. It looked a bit too dry in comparison to the photos, and adding a bit of water fixed it. Texture and taste was fantastic!! 😃😃

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe, Henrikke! So glad that is was quicker with the help 🥰

This was UNREAL! Wow that texture was incredible, the taste was perfection. It really wow'd my husband.

So glad it was enjoyed, Tanja! 🤩

Lovely to find this and another seitan recipe on the app! Given the lengthy steaming time is it possible to use a pressure cooker? Any pressure cooking advice for seitan would be appreciated! 🙏🏽

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 27, 2024, 11:06 p.m.

Hey Hope, we haven't tested it out but we imagine you could use a pressure cooker for the seitan! It's something we will keep in mind, for future seitan recipes. Let us know if you experiment with it! 😊

Michelle - Feb. 19, 2024, 8:05 p.m.

This was delicious!! So happy to see a seitan recipe 😊

Thank you, Michelle! We hope to share more soon 🤗

Hey! I was super excited to make this dish but sadly did not hit. I messed it up somewhere but I’m not sure where. I think it was steaming it. Not sure if my steamer was too small and also the “meat” got stuck to the steamer so when it was time to put it on the skillet it wasn’t cooked through. In the end it was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Any insight/feedback? The asparagus and potatoes were delicious :)

Love this app though! I’ve made so many incredible meals for my fiancé and I! Thanks so much

Hey Katherine, we're sad to hear about the trouble with the seitan steak! It's possible your "steaks" were thicker than ours, which might have needed more time in the steamer. We will update the recipe to make it more clear. We do use a parchment liner under the seitan while it's steaming. Was the water in the steamer boiling rapidly? If you think your steamer just can't accommodate the seitan, you could bake it on the tray with the potatoes instead, it might result in a slightly drier outside, but since you end it with basting, it shouldn't make a big change to the overall flavour. Thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed the potatoes and asparagus though 🙂

Katherine Wishmeyer - Feb. 15, 2024, 4:10 p.m.

Good suggestions. I’ll try that next time and see what happens. I did turn down the heat because it was making a squeaky noise and I wasn’t sure if that was normal so the water probably wasn’t at a rapid boil.

Thanks for the feedback!
