Ingredients

  • 240 Grams Vital Wheat Gluten (about 2 cups)
  • 15 Grams Nutritional Yeast (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Steak Seasoning (optional)
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Cayenne
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Allspice
  • ¾ Cup Water
  • ¼ Cup Liquid Aminos
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and spices.
  3. Add the water, liquid aminos, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar and mix. Start with a fork, then move to your hands. The mixture should come together but not be super wet. If there is still some dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.
  4. Shape into 4-6 patties. Alternatively, shape into small nuggets. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 25-35 minutes (depending on how large the patties are) until an internal temperature of 195°F is reached.
  5. Let cool slightly. Then slice into steaks if desired.
