Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 2 tbsp miso paste (white or dark)
- 1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup water
- Your favorite bbq sauce
Instructions
- Add the black beans to a food processor. Blend until smooth scraping down the sides as needed (this may take a few times).
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until just combined. Over mixing can make the steak too chewy. If you do not have a food processor you can mash the beans with a fork or potato masher and add ingredients to a large bowl.
- Turn the mixture out onto a clean work surface. Knead gently until it comes together. If it is too crumby add water a tsp at time until dough is smooth.
- Cut the dough into four pieces. Using a rolling pin or something similar, roll each piece into a 1/2 inch thick steak. Dough should be very stretchy so you may need some muscle for this.
- Add several inches of water to a large pot with a steamer basket and bring to a boil. Spray your steamer basket with non-stick spray. Put the steaks in the basket and cover with a lid. Don’t worry if the steaks over lap. Steam for 25mins flipping half-way to ensure even cooking.
- Remove steaks and enjoy right away or option to refrigerate for later use or let cool and freeze.
- When you are ready to enjoy your wheat meat, heat a frying pan, grill pan or barbecue to medium high heat. Fry or grill your steak 4-5 minutes each side.
- Slather on your favorite bbq sauce and enjoy!
