Fake beef - it's what's for dinner! (pic heavy) [View all]

Making homemade 'beef' seitan for dinner. The photos show the process, and the end result - a teriyaki stir-fry with orzo.


Some vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, assorted spices and water. Knead it for a while and you get this.


Cutting it into decent sized chunks. It expands quite a bit.


Placing the chunks into the boiling broth. The broth is water, molasses, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos (similar to soy sauce).


This is about 30 minutes into the process (I cook it in the broth for an hour). You can see how the chunks have expanded.


What it looks like after an hour.


I like dehydrating them. It gives them a great texture and color.


Tonight's dinner is teriyaki stir-fry with orzo. The seitan looks and tastes great.
