Seitan Steaks in Mango Sauce combine the robustness of seitan, a wheat-based protein, with the vibrant flavors of ripe mango and a medley of aromatic spices. Each seitan steak is meticulously marinated in a velvety mango sauce, enriched with hints of garlic, ginger, and a touch of red chili for a subtle kick.
To begin, tender slices of seitan are grilled to perfection, creating a savory backdrop that complements the sweet and tangy essence of the mango sauce. The sauce itself is a masterpiece of culinary fusion, blending diced mangoes with sautéed shallots, garlic, and ginger, all simmered in vegetable broth until the flavors meld into a harmonious whole. A sprinkle of curry powder and a dash of molasses add depth and complexity, while cumin lends a hint of earthy warmth.
Once marinated, the seitan steaks are grilled until they boast a tantalizing char, ensuring each bite is infused with smoky notes that harmonize with the rich mango sauce. The final touch—a scattering of freshly chopped parsley—adds a refreshing herbal note, enhancing both the visual appeal and the aromatic bouquet of the dish.
Seitan Steaks in Mango Sauce are not merely a meal but a culinary adventure, showcasing the versatility of plant-based ingredients in creating a dish that satisfies both the palate and the senses. Perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike, this dish promises a memorable dining experience that celebrates the artistry of plant-based cooking.
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the Seitan: Seitan is a product similar to tofu, made from wheat protein and a staple in Japanese cuisine. Slice the seitan into approximately 1 cm thick steaks.
Prepare the Sauce: Peel and dice the mango. Peel and dice the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Deseed and finely slice the red chili pepper, and dice the red bell pepper. Heat olive oil in a saucepan and add three-quarters of the diced mango and bell pepper. Sauté together with shallots, garlic, and ginger.
Season and Simmer: Add the red chili pepper, curry powder, cumin, and molasses to the saucepan. Stir well and deglaze with vegetable broth. Simmer for about 8 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Blend the Sauce: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then blend into a smooth sauce. Add the remaining mango and bell pepper to the saucepan and simmer for an additional 4 minutes. Season the sauce with salt to taste.
Marinate the Seitan: Drain the seitan and arrange the slices in a container. Pour the prepared sauce over the seitan, ensuring each slice is coated. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
Grill the Seitan Steaks: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Drain the marinated seitan steaks and grill for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, heat the remaining sauce in a small pot on the grill.
Conclusion
Serve: Arrange the grilled seitan steaks on plates and top with the warm mango sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy your Seitan Steaks in Mango Sauce!
