Philly Cheese Steak

Step 1: Add oil (or plant based butter) to a frying pan.

Step 2: Add your seitan (cut it into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to assemble).

Step 3: Cook to heat through, but not to brown.

Step 4: Add seasonings and liquid smoke. Start with measurements above, but customize to your liking. I use generous amounts of garlic/onion powder.

Step 5: Sauté seitan for about 5 minutes or more, until brown.

Step 6: To make sure seitan is juicy, add a splash of vegetable broth. Also include ½ teaspoon liquid smoke and a bit more oil/ plant based butter. If you enjoy bbq sauce, add some here.

Step 1: In a separate frying pan, on low flame, add a tsp of oil.

Step 2: Add your roughly chopped onions.

Step 3: Cook onions until they become more transparent.

Step 4: Add your peppers and minced garlic, don’t let garlic burn.

Step 5: Sauté for about 3 - 5 minutes.

Step 1: In a blender, add cashews.

Step 2: Blend until they are a fine powder-like consistency.

Step 3: Add vegetable broth.

Step 4: Add 1 tsp oil or plant based butter.

Step 5: Blend until smooth.

Step 6: Add nutritional yeast, cheese shreds, garlic powder, salt & pepper, paprika.

Step 7: Blend until silky smooth (this might take a few minutes). Consistency is thin. Will thicken when heated.

Step 8: Add diced jalapenos and 1 tbsp minced onions to lightly oiled saucepan and saute 2-3 minutes. Keep a low flame.

Step 9: Add cashew cheese sauce. Stir. Sauce will slowly thicken as it cooks. When sauce comes to a low boil, it’s done. Move pan to cold burner to stop cooking.

Step 1: Cut your baguette or loaf in half, lengthwise. Place halves on a cookie sheet, cut side up. Spread a generous dollop of Vegenaise on both halves.

Step 2: Add a sprinkling of garlic powder and some dried parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Put halves in the toaster oven (or oven) and bake until bread turns light brown (do not over bake).

Step 4: Remove garlic bread from the oven. Leave halves on the cookie sheet.

Step 1: Add a layer of seitan and any liquid left over from your pan.

Step 2: Add peppers & onions.

Step 3: Add a generous amount of cheese sauce.

Step 4: Cut in half.

Step 5: Enjoy!
