Not Roast Beef
Yield: 4 to 5 servings

4 to 5 cups seitan, sliced in strips
2 Tablespoons oil
2 Tablespoons tamari or substitute
3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast

Sauce
2-½ cups water
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ cup tomato paste
1 ½ Tablespoons tamari or substitute
1/8-cup miso (blonde)
2 Tablespoons molasses
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ Tablespoon parsley (fresh or dried)
1 Tablespoon onion powder
½ Tablespoon garlic powder

1. Grill or panfry the seitan slices in the oil and season with tamari and yeast. Brown the seitan on both sides. If desired, grill some sliced onions and mix in.
2. In a blender, blend the Sauce ingredients. Pour into a saucepan and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir frequently, never bringing the sauce to a rapid boil.
3. Pour the sauce over the seitan and pan fry once again or bake in the oven at 350. (Baking in the oven or letting it sit in the refrigerator with the sauce will allow the seitan to absorb the sauce and its flavors.)
