Homemade Seitan Barbecue (Bbq) Ribs - Vegan

I made a single batch of this one time when I found this recipe last year. After that- it's always been a double batch. This is one of my hubby's favorite meals now. I make it at least once a week if not twice.

Leftovers go in the fridge for quick sandwiches later. We don't have a grill so I just use the broiler for the last part of cooking.

Thanks for posting this great recipe!
Update 3/3/12 - (2 1/2 years later!) I still make this recipe very regularly. Once every couple months I take a bunch of ziploc bags and put the dry ingredients in so when it's time to make the ribs I already have the dry mix ready to go, I just dump the contents of the ziploc into a bowl and add the wet ingredients. It's super easy and dinner is ready for the oven in about 5 minutes!

I've tried many seitan recipes - all good, but this is one of the easiest. Served them several times - and will keep making them often. I don't grill these. I remove them from the oven about 5 min before done and brush the BBQ sauce over the tops of them. Put them back in the oven and when they were done - served them w/more BBQ sauce to dip them in. These are a bit difficult to cut in the pan prior to cooking them, but I had no trouble finishing the cuts when these come out of the oven.

Excellent recipe! I might try this with different sauces: tone down the smoke/barbeque flavour, cut the batter into squares rather than strips, and use general tso's or sweet & sour sauce.

I am a big Seitan fan. I have made my own before but this is the first time I've baked it. I love the bbq flavour of this dish. I used a smoky style bbq. sauce. I didn't make them into ribs, mine are just random shapes. I doubled the recipe and only used 1/2 the liquid smoke. I find it pretty strong. I used Tamari sauce instead of soy and used part tahini and peanut butter. I'm going to serve them with potato croquettes for supper. Yummy. Thanks for the delicious and different recipe. It will something I will make again.

I was pretty excited when I found this recipe. I am a soy-allergic vegan so I eat a LOT of seitan, but these are just plain bad. They were the sort of things you started eating and at first thought were alright, but as you chew this realization comes over you that you've just wasted a box of gluten and were gonna need to find something to microwave for dinner instead.
I gave it two stars because the awfulness galvanized me to make up my own recipe for "ribs" that turned out really good.

This recipe is just fantastic! I was so afraid to make seitan before, but this is so easy and quick to make. I'll be tripling the recipe the next time I make it...hubby and I gobbled up the pan in no time!

As is, without the bbq sauce, they're alright. I've had better. But I like the idea though. I'll make this again using PPKs seitan recipe.

I have made these a couple of times and they are yummy. My MIL made them yesterday and found that rolling them with a rolling pin and then letting them shrink to fit the pan worked very nicely. Also, be careful of the sauce cause if you don't you could burn them. And we agree that they are better the next day. Be sure to watch the video, nice and helpful.

AMAZING!!! This will definitely be in our regular rotation. I have always wondered how to make Seitan and now I know. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce and it was very good but next time I will try to make some homemade without the HFCS.

These are easy to make and delicious! I used tahini for my nut butter, and home made bar-b-q sauce.

Really really good. I got the recipe from fatfreevegan too, and saw it here so wanted to rate it. I followed the recipe exactly and we really enjoyed them. I couldn't press them out as thinly as directed, so next time I will put them on my cutting board and roll them out with a pin. The thinner, the better with these. I used my griddle on the stove rather than fire up the grill, and they turned out terrific. Will be making again, soon!

Wow!! This recipe is AMAZING!! It was very easy to put together and my husband was so happy he was able to use his grill for this. I took the advice of one of the other reviews and served it with coleslaw and then we also had vegetarian baked beans. Reminded me of summer!! Thanks so much for this great recipe!

This was pretty good. I used regular paprika and tahini as my nut butter. The instructions don't say anything about greasing the baking pan, so I didn't and it stuck like crazy-I had a difficult time getting it out of the pan. I broiled mine and got it slighty charred as suggested by other users. Mine only made 10 "ribs" and we ate them on hamburger buns. As far as taste goes, the BBQ pretty much takes over, I thought it would be chewier than it was, next time I will make these thinner so they crisp up better, but is definitely a recipe I will make again. Simple and good. Thank you for posting. *EDIT: This is now one of my bf's favorite vegan recipes. Instead of making "ribs" I form them into patties and cooked them on parchment paper. I thinly slice some raw onions to put on top and we eat it just like that. By bf calls this his salisbury steak! A winner recipe!

Wow! This was awesome and so close to the real thing. Since its getting colder I used the broiler instead of the grill. The only problem I had was that I had a difficult time spreading the "dough" in the pan and had to cook them 10 minutes longer than directed. I did not change the recipe otherwise. Will make again!

What a fast and delicious recipe. Big hit with the family. I do not have liquid smoke, so I had to leave that out, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I will use almond butter instead of peanut butter. I felt the peanut butter flavor was too pronounced, but no one else agreed with me. Thanks for posting such a terrific recipe!

I gave this recipe the full five stars because the instructions were clear and the results came out as billed. Also, the ribs were tasty. They are in no way like meat ribs but they are a great vegan option. Also I gave five stars because the recipe is so adaptable. I didn't have liquid smoke and subbed a little adobo and worcestershire sauce for the smokiness. In place of the nut butter I used a little olive oil. I also added some cayenne and chili powder for extra kick. I did not put my ribs on a grill at all, only baked them in the oven and baked on the sauce. The added olive oil, I think, plus oiling the pan, helped the ribs to slip very easily from the pan even after saucing them. Also, pressing the ribs very thin into the pan helped them have a pleasing chewy texture.

So easy, and really good! I didn't have liquid smoke or nutritional yeast, and it still turned out great. I used tahini because the only peanut butter I had on hand was chunky. Next time, I'm going to try it with all the listed ingredients. But hard to believe it will be better.

This recipes has to get 5 stars for being so simple! It's very tasty too- I'll be glad to try it a couple more times and get the hang of it, and to try it with the liquid smoke. Sadly, there were a lot of different things on the bbq and we singed the "rib", but c'est la vie! They still taste like MORE! Thanks!
