The Best Seitan Corned Beef Recipe Ever (Vegan)
loading...
X
Make this vegan corned beef for your St Patrick’s Day feast, or any time! Serve it with cabbage and potatoes any time you want a good hearty main dish for dinner! (It also makes amazing vegan corned beef reuben sandwiches!) This meaty homemade seitan recipe – with beets for that bright pink color – is made in your slow cooker before being baked with a black pepper crust. The result is 100% worth the time that goes into it!
Ingredients
- The ingredients list for this seitan corned beef may look long, but a lot of it is spices and simple stuff, so don’t let yourself get overwhelmed too quickly!
- I’ll walk you through an overview of what you need for each component of the recipe. But remember the full recipe with ingredient amounts can be found in the recipe card below!
- subheading: For the beet puree, you’ll need: A can of sliced or whole beets. Make sure you don’t get candied beets!:
- subheading: To make the seitan itself, you’ll need:
- Vital wheat gluten - This is a key ingredient in all seitan recipes! You can sometimes find this at the grocery store in either the “natural foods” section or with the flour and other baking ingredients. We usually order it in bulk online. Popular brands we use: Bob’s Red Mill and Anthony’s Goods.
- All-purpose flour - Instead of chickpea flour or nutritional yeast, try adding some all-purpose flour to your seitan dough. It sounds totally weird, but it improves the texture by leaps and bounds. No more chewy, tough seitan! We got this tip from Connie’s Rawsome Kitchen on Youtube and highly reccomend following her if you want to get better at making seitan!
- Brown sugar - Feel free to reduce or cut this if you want, but I like the slightly sweet balance it adds.
- Seasonings: sea salt, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and ground mustard
- Refined coconut oil - Melted. Make sure you get a coconut oil lableed “refined” and not one labeled “unrefined” or “virgin”. If your seitan tastes like coconuts, this is where you went wrong!
- subheading: For the spice rub, you’ll need: Ground black pepper, sea salt, ground mustard, ground allspice:
- subheading: For the brine, you’ll need:
- Reserved water from canned beets - Reserve that canned beet water! Adding this to the crockpot when you cook your roast will help amp up the color (which will fade when it cooks)
- Water
- Beet puree
- Mushrooms - These are optional. They just add a nice earthy flavor to our vegan meat!
- Garlic cloves - Crushed. No need to chop, these are just for flavor!
- Rice wine vinegar
- Ground black pepper and sea salt
- Allspice berries (whole spices)
- Ground mustard
- subheading: A Note for Beet-Haters:
- But for my beet-haters out there, I feel it’s important to let you know that the end result does not at all taste like a beet.
- Trust me. I’m someone who has to hold her nose when cooking beets because the five-year-old picky eater in me just simply cannot.
- But I do know how healthy they are, so I’m super pumped I found a way to make them virtually unrecognizable but still attain some of the awesome health benefits. Always a score with that one!
