From the PCRM website, from Eat Right, Live Longer by Neal D. Barnard, M.D.; recipe by Jennifer Raymond. The note says to serve over noodles with a side salad. I have to say that I have no idea what Swiss Steak is or how it tastes, but this was yummy. It's also low fat, healthy and vegan. Pretty easy to make as well.

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the onion in half, then into thin slices. Heat the wine or water in a large skillet or pot and braise the onion until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic, and basil. Continue cooking over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, then stir in the dissolved miso, tomatoes, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.
Spread 1/2 cup of sauce evenly in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Arrange the seitan slices in the dish, then cover with the rest of the sauce. Cover the dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
