Directions

  1. 1Start with four meatless patties (e.g., Beyond Meat) and season them with Red House seasoning and onion soup mix.
  2. 2Add vegan Worcestershire sauce to the patties and mix well.
  3. 3Add half a cup of vital wheat gluten flour to the mixture to achieve a tough, cube steak-like texture.
  4. 4Add olive oil to activate the vital wheat gluten flour.
  5. 5Add some vital wheat gluten flour to a board and press the mixture into small patties.
  6. 6Dip the patties in a seasoned flour mixture (using Red House seasoning) and then place them in grape seed oil.
  7. 7Fry the patties for about 3 minutes on each side and then remove them from the pan.
  8. 8Add sweet onion to the pan.
  9. 9Take some of the same seasoned flour and whisk it into the pan, making sure it doesn't touch the onion to avoid clumps.
  10. 10Once mixed, add plant-based butter to the pan.
  11. 11Add about two cups of water, two vegan beef bouillon cubes, more Red House seasoning, a little vegan Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the onions.
  12. 12Add the homemade onion soup mix (recipe accessible via the provided link).
  13. 13Allow the gravy mixture to cook for 10 minutes before adding the vegan beef steaks.
  14. 14Cover the steaks with some of the gravy and allow them to cook for another 8 to 10 minutes.
  15. 15Serve the cube steak with rice, stove-top mac and cheese, turnip and mustard greens, and bourbon candied yams.
