This is one of those recipes that pleases everyone - from kids to grown ups - we all have all ordered this dish in a restaurant at least once. In this case the steaks are made from seitan. Seitan is a “meat” made from gluten protein whose recipe originates from ancient India or China (its origin is not known). Although seitan is a grain-based food such as wheat or barley, it is low in carbohydrates but high in protein. And like tofu, seitan is a very versatile food that is quick to cook and easy to prepare. The secret of a good seitan steak is its preparation and the sauce in which it is marinated.
