SEITAN WITH PORTABELLAS IN WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in medium skillet over medium heat until butter melts.
• Add shallots and garlic, stir to coat and cook 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium low; add sliced portobellos, herbs, salt, and pepper; cook until the mushrooms are cooked through, about 10 min, stirring occasionally.
• Add reserved seitan broth, wine, cream, and parmesan; increase heat to medium.
• Simmer for 30 minutes or until the seitan has absorbed the flavor of the broth and the liquid has reduced, stirring occasionally.
• Add to linguine and heat a few minutes.
• Note: the recipe as written gives only a little thin sauce at the end - if you want a "saucier" version, double the herbs, wine, and cream when you add them. If you did this you could add corn starch to thicken at the end of cooking.

HOMEMADE SEITAN STEAKS & WILD MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• To make the seitan, combine the whole wheat and white flours in a large mixing bowl. Mix with enough water to form a stiff dough. Gather into a ball and knead vigorously on a floured surface for at least 13 minutes.
• Place in a bowl and cover the dough with cold water.Let stand for 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Pour off the water and cover with fresh water. Knead the dough under the water to wash out the starch and some of the bran. Pour off the milky white water and cover with fresh water. Keep washing and rinsing while kneading the dough until the water becomes almost clear.
• Divide the dough in half, place the halves in a large stockpot, and cover with the 6 cups of broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Slice the dough into "steaks" and place in a large baking dish.
• To make the marinade, place the 2 cups of olive oil, 1 cup tamari soy sauce, dijon mustard, garlic, pepper, and hot sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over the seitan and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Prepare the steaks by grilling them on a charcoal, gas or stovetop grill over medium-high heat until golden brown (about 4 minutes per side). They may also be broiled instead of grilled.
• To make the gravy, saute the mushrooms and onions in 3 T of olive oil. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 3 T of olive oil and add the brown rice flour to make a roux. Stir in 2 cups of water, 1/2 c tamari soy sauce, and the herbs and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer until gravy is thickened (about 10 minutes). Stir in the mushroom-onion mixture and cook over low temperature until heated through. If the gravy is too thick, add water 1 T at a time until desired consistency is reached. Serve over steaks.

RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the diced onions and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms begin to soften (about 2 minutes).
• Stir in the chicken broth and tarragon. Raise the heat to med-high, cooking until mushrooms are tender (about 3 minutes).
• In a small cup stir together the wine and cornstarch. Add mixture to the sauce and raise the temp to high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook until thickened.
• Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer, combine the wine, soy sauce, vinegar, thyme, pepper and half of the garlic. Place the steaks in the marinade and turn them over to thoroughly coat. Set them aside to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. If broiling, line a broiler pan with foil.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic, the scallions and mushrooms and saute until the scallions are limp and the mushrooms are beginning to release their liquid, two to three minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible, about 30 seconds.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Stir the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mixture has come to a boil and thickened slightly, one to two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you cook the steaks.
• Grill or broil the steaks four inches from the heat; 7 minutes per side for rare, 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 9 minutes per side for well-done. Let the steaks rest for five minutes before serving.
• Serve the steaks topped with the red wine mushroom sauce.
