Ingredients
Seitan
Seitan serves as the main protein source in this dish. Made from wheat gluten, it has a chewy texture that mimics meat perfectly. You’ll need about 8 ounces of prepared seitan for this recipe.
Bell Peppers
Use two medium bell peppers—one red and one green—for vibrant color and sweetness. Slice them thinly to ensure they cook down nicely while adding flavor to the cheesesteak.
Onion
One large yellow onion provides a savory base for your filling. Slice it thinly to allow for even caramelization, enhancing its natural sweetness during cooking.
Garlic
Two cloves of garlic add depth to your dish. Mince them finely so they infuse flavor throughout the sautéed vegetables without overwhelming the taste.
Olive Oil
You will need about 2 tablespoons of olive oil for cooking. This oil helps sauté the vegetables and brings out their natural flavors while adding richness to the dish.
Vegan Cheese
For that classic cheesy goodness, use 1 cup of shredded vegan cheese. Choose your favorite brand to melt over the seitan mixture right before serving.
Hoagie Rolls
Four hoagie rolls are essential for serving your cheesesteaks. Opt for fresh rolls or whole grain varieties for added nutrition.
