Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 ounces seitan
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup vegan heavy cream alternative (or full-fat coconut milk, see Note 1)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Toast, for serving

Instructions

  • Stir the soy sauce and paprika together in a shallow dish. Thinly slice the seitan, then add it to the dish. Gently stir to coat the seitan in the soy sauce mixture, then let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seitan in an even layer on the baking sheet. Discard any excess marinade. Once the oven has fully preheated, bake the seitan for about 20 minutes, or until the pieces are dark around the edges and have a leathery texture.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan, then whisk in the flour. Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly, just until it starts to smell nutty.
  • Whisk in the non-dairy milk, heavy cream alternative, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring the liquid to a simmer. It should thicken slightly within a minute or two once it starts to simmer.
  • Once the milk mixture thickens, whisk in the seitan. Simmer the seitan for about 2 minutes, just until it softens up slightly.
  • Remove the pot from heat and serve the vegan creamed chipped beef over toast.

Notes

  1. Coconut milk will add a bit of sweetness and coconut flavor. Consider balancing it out by adding ½ teaspoon of white vinegar.
  2. This recipe makes enough for about 3 to 6 slices of toast, depending on the size of the slices and how generously you serve it.
  3. Nutrition information does not include toast.
