You will thank me for this one.
There are a lot of great options out there for when you are craving a certain taste but don't want the meat, however... Italian beef sandwiches were one thing that I had figured just weren't going to happen. I didn't crave the meat part - just the juicy, spicy, well-seasoned bread that came with it. I haven't cooked with seitan much, but I've always enjoyed it at restaurants and prefer it to tofu. Then I discovered this recipe, and adjusted it to my liking.
This is what you need to gather:
1 and 1/2 lbs. of thinly sliced seitan
3-4 c. water
3 vegetable bouillon cubes
2 t. dried oregano
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 t. red pepper flakes
2 t. fennel seeds
1 t. salt
1/2 t. ground black pepper
2 chopped up red bell peppers
Put everything in a pot, stir it, cover it, and simmer over medium heat for about an hour. After an hour, turn the heat to low and keep it covered until you are ready to serve it.
Serve with rolls. I got 5 for $1 at the Vietnamese bakery across the street and they were amazing. They were served in a bowl, sliced, filled with the seitan and then I poured the juice over them. Perfect!
