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.
