Vegan Seitan Steak with 85g Protein

This protein-rich vegan steak is made from seitan and is perfect for meal prep. With a spicy marinade made from beetroot, it becomes particularly juicy and flavorful.

Really one of my absolute favorite recipes and quicker to make than you might think. By the way, you can also freeze the steak really well and meal prep it.
