Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, blend 1 can of pinto beans using the hand blender.
  2. Add in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, tomato sauce, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke, and soy sauce.
  3. Stir in your vital wheat gluten. After adding the vital wheat gluten, your mixture will begin to crumble.
  4. Slowly pour in your vegetable broth. At this point, the mixture will begin to turn into dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Cut the dough into eight pieces. Using the rolling pin, roll out each piece. At this point, each piece will start to resemble real steak.
  6. Add the eight pieces of rolled-out dough to a steamer and place the steamer basket into a large pot. Make sure there is about an inch of water in the steamer at all times this will ensure that your steam will not burn. Steam the dough for 45 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare your marinade by combining garlic powder, onion powder, liquid smoke, and soy sauce in a large bowl.
  8. Add the 8 pieces of steamed dough to the marinade and let this sit for at least an hour.
  9. On medium-low heat, heat up grapeseed oil in a skillet. Add the fresh thyme and garlic cloves to the grapeseed oil. This will help give the steak extra flavor.
  10. Add three pieces of dough to the oil. Cook for 7 minutes on each side or until each side is slightly charred.
  11. Repeat until all the steak is cooked.
  12. Serve warm.
