T-Bobe steak

Ingredients

*1 cup Canned black beans (Drained) (250g)
*2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
*1 tsp Garlic Powder
*1 tsp Onion Powder
*2 tsp Ground pepper
*2 tsp smoked paprika
*2 tbsp Soya Sauce
*1 hoisin sauce
*2 tsp apple cider vinegar
*2 tbsp red wine vinegar (vegan)
*¼ tsp Liquid Smoke
*2 tsp worstershire sauce
*2 tsp maple syrup
*½ cup Vegetable Stock (120ml)
*1 ¾ cups Vital Wheat Gluten (263g)


For the Marinade: (revised version)

*¼ cup lemon juice (60ml)
*1 tsp Paprika
*⅛ tsp Liquid Smoke
*200ml olive oil
*1 tsp salt
*1 tsp crushed garlic

Instructions

Add all ingredients into the food processor besides the vital wheat gluten and process until well mixed.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the vital wheat gluten. Stir in with a spoon briefly and then get in there with your hands, mixing it into a dough. Knead the dough for around 2 minutes, you want it to go from sticky and soft to firm and stretchy, so that when you pull it, it snaps back into place. Make sure you don’t over-knead it because that will cause your steaks to become very tough.
As soon as you have a firm, stretchy texture, flatten it out and cut it into your preferred sizes to make your T-bones.

Steam the steak for an hour. Prepare your marinade sauce by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and whisking them together. Let it sit for a little while and then whisk again. You want it to be nice and smooth.
After steaming for 1 hour, place the steaks into a square dish. Pour over the marinade sauce and use a brush to make sure the steaks are properly covered. Turn them over in the sauce a few times.
