Thick texas toast
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare baking dish by coating lightly with oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Hand mix the wet and dry batches separately. Combine dry mixture with half of wet mixture. Mix until combined completely. Knead for 3 minutes until all is mixed thoroughly and the dough has an elastic texture.
3. Form into a rough oval shape and place in baking dish. Lightly coat the raw seitan with oil.
4. Add rest of braising liquid around the casserole dish, pouring over raw seitan.
5. Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
6. At the 25 minute mark, flip loaf over. Place back in oven for another 20 minutes. If you will be putting this on the grill, be sure to fire-up the grill. Prepare this BBQ sauce ( while your seitan is cooking.
7. Remove the seitan a few minutes before its done and baste the seitan with some of the remaining liquid in the dish. Place back in oven for another 5-10 minutes. The liquid should be almost evaporated and thickened. Remove from oven and leave to cool for a few minutes.
8. Once the seitan is cooled, it’s time to finish it on the grill. Be sure the grill is blazing hot and on high heat. In a casserole dish, or the same that the seitan was baked in, cover it with BBQ sauce being sure it coats all sides well.
9. Place on the grill and allow to brill for about 8 minutes on each side to create the killer char that will make this finish dish.
10. While this is grilling, gather all the fixin’s to complete your BBQ board, or BBQ sandwich. Fresh sliced pickles, sliced raw white onion, Texas toast, extra BBQ sauce and of course a toll of paper towels.
11. After flipping brisket and getting some great char on both sides, remove from grill. Its time to assemble.
12. Slice the brisket as thin as you can and serve with all the fixin’s!

Update from earlier post: First of all, from this single recipe, my husband and I got about 7 meals total! I can't believe what a good value this thing is in terms of being the basis for many different meals. But, here is the real kicker! I said in my first post that this would not pass off as actual beef brisket, at least not in this format. HOWEVER, for one of the later meals, I did like the video mentions and took part of it turned it into "ground beef" that I used as a filling for taquitos/flautas. After grinding it in a blender, I sauteed it in a skillet with finely chopped onions and jalapenos and added some store-bought taco seasoning for convenience. (I'm sure a custom fresh spice blend would be better but I was just being lazy!) OMG! I am serious when I say that I don't think anybody would have a clue that this wasn't just normal beef flautas. Except for maybe it was even BETTER than beef flautas because it was very tender and didn't have any unappetizing tough pieces. Thanks again for sharing such a versatile and economical recipe!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just noticed that I did not subscribe which I swear that I did. Anyhow, I've clicked that red button. 🙏👋🤸♂️
Disgusting. Eat a steak.
It may be easier, but occasionaly making the plain old school version and rinsing the dough in a bowl of water you'll also get wheat starch, which can be used as a replacement for cornstarch or potato starch.
1 tbsp of salt is way too much but otherwise it's pretty good
I thought vegan was no oil ?
YUMMMMMM
Stop trying to copy meat with your estrogen mimicking soy and Soya products, men stay away – unless you want female hormones replicating
Please bring that to New York City. I've been a vegetarian for over 10 years. I love Burger King's Beyond Burger. But I am looking for something more upgraded.👍🏾
okay small thing: texas brisket is not cooked it sauce its cooked dry rubbed and smoked with sauce on the side
First time I ever made seitan. The flavor was great, but the texture was rubbery. It did relax after a couple of days in the fridge, but still not great texture. Any ideas what I might have done wrong?
that is the vegan looking for !!!!
can u do it in a kitchenAid?
If you wanna eat meat just eat meat. Packaging something to look like meat and taste like meat is wrong in so many ways. Number one the plant is no longer in its whole original form. So its just as unhealthy as eating meat.
Secondly you’re reenacting causing harm to an animal by recreating eating it. If you took a vow to stop beating your wife and tell her you’ll hit a pillow, fine. But when she sees a full blown doll that looks just like her, she doesn’t smile and say oh thank God that’s not really me. She’s like oh fuck he’s getting better at it.
Veganism isn’t just about not eating meat. It’s the compassion and empathy that stands behind it. Like eating a vegan hot dog or a disgusting turkey loaf for thanksgiving. It’’s still recreating eating an animal.
😭🤤😋😭😋😋🙏😍💯🔝
Less blather, more action!
Did it and wow tasty with the BBC sauce on top thanks 😊
Damn trying this yummy 🤤💚💚😻🌱
If you wanted to, could you smoke it instead of grilling it?
So vegan is basically putting a whole bunch of flavors in the wheat batch?
Looked at the thumbnail and already liked an subbed
Hail Seitan! 😈
Sounds delicious. Since I would like to serve this also to my 3 year old, I would be interested in the best substitute for the alcohol. Many thanks
Isn't this basically just bread with BBQ sauce & vegetables?
So it's a type of bread ? It looks delicious though gotta make it
I recently bought your cookbook. On which page can I find this awesome recipe?
That looks so good. But its just gluten and sugar sauce then?
Where can I find the full recipe with actual amounts of ingredients?
Suddenly i feel we're in the post apocalyptic times where real meat is reserved only for the elite. 😁
Jokes apart, this looks really delicious 😍
Could liquid smoke be used in the wet mix to give a more bbq flavor?
