Homemade Seitan Steaks & Wild Mushroom Gravy

Update- Sorry I forgot to come back and review this before now. I got rave reviews when I served this to some vegan friends. I tried them as well and thought they were flavorful. A lot of work goes into this with the washing and kneading of the dough. The gravy was very nice and I enjoyed the mushrooms very much. I would make this again if it were not so labor intensive but as a non vegan I cannot see going to the effort. I would make this however for vegan guests. Thanks for sharing! *Original review 11/20/2008* - No stars yet. The photo I have posted is that of the seitan that I made after chef 2010 was so wonderful and patient and answered my questions. I was a little panicky at the start of the washing after all that kneading to see how much was being washed away! I thought for sure I had done something wrong. Just when I thought all was lost I kept kneading the dough under the water and it changed in my hands from a gloppy mess to more of a stringy sponge like consistency. The more I washed the more sponge like it became. I have now simmered it and took a photo to show everyone what it looks like before slicing. I have since sliced it and am now marinating it. I will be back to share how this comes out at the end!

This was very nice, and the gravy was really good. I don't think the seitan is worth the time or ingredients versus the kind I usually make with vital wheat gluten though. I am super grateful to the reviewers to said to hang in there when the seitan falls apart during kneading; I thought I had ruined it! So I will keep your gravy and method on hand, but going to stick with my own seitan. Thanks for a new way to prepare it though!

OUTSTANDING!!!! This is the best vegetarian dish I've ever made. My husband and I decided this dish is so good,we are having it for Thanksgiving. Thank you soooo much for posting it. I served this with mashed potatoes and it is a perfect side dish. The recipe for the homemade Seitan is the best recipe I've ever used for seitan. I had almost given up on making homemade seitan until I found this recipe and now I'll never use store bought again.
