Ingredients

  • 1 Recipe Seitan Steak sliced in half height-wise, then sliced into strips
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 Medium Green Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • 8 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper
  • 3-6 Slices Vegan Provolone or Swiss for a WFPB version use ½ batch of my Plant-Based Mozzarella
  • 6 Hoagie Rolls I used Dave's - check the ingredients, many hoagie rolls aren't vegan

Instructions

  • Prepare the seitan. As instructed in the post - divide the dough into 6 pieces before baking. After the seitan comes out of the oven, slice each piece in half by height, then thinly slice into strips to create small 'steak tip' shapes.
  • Heat the onion and peppers in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until golden in color.
  • Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook again until mushrooms are soft and then let the liquid cook off, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add the sliced seitan. Toss well.
  • Add the cheese, cover and let the cheese melt for 3-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, if desired, toast the hoagie rolls. (I used my air fryer; you can also pop them under the broiler)
  • Load each hoagie roll with the seitan and vegetable mixture. Serve with pickle spears and chips on the side.
