Healthy Vegan BBQ Steaks
I’grew up eating tons of meat in the Chilean Patagonia, and while I do not miss meat these days, I wanted to create a tasty recipe I could enjoy during BBQs with fam and friends. I love it because it’s:
Healthier than most Vegan BBQ recipes I’ve seen, I even added lentils to this one.
Super quick and easy to make.
Packed with protein.
It provides enough energy and protein to use it as a post-workout meal!
Ingredients
Vital wheat gluten
Chickpea flour
Lentils
BBQ sauce
Soy sauce
Molasses
Dijon mustard
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Olive oil
Vegetable broth
Steak spice
Don’t worry, you don’t taste the chickpea flour and lentils, you taste the BBQ flavor and the amazing texture!
Cashews: You can use cashew butter instead of cashews (or any nut butter or nut-free butter). This time I used cashews but I have also made the recipe with peanut butter. If you go that route, you will need only ½ cup + 2 tbsp nut butter.
Lentils: I usually use red lentils but green, brown, or black lentils also work.
How to Make Vegan BBQ Steaks?
You need a food processor or blender, a bowl, and a pot to cook the steaks!
Mix wet ingredients in a food processor and blend.
Add everything in a bowl and knead to form the dough.
Stretch your dough and separate into pieces, aka BBQ steaks.
Cook them in a saucepan.
This Vegan BBQ Steak Is
Egg-free
Dairy-free (without butter)
Nut free
Healthier than most vegan BBQ recipes I’ve seen
Amazing meat replacement to bring to your next BBQ… or just for you to enjoy!

Notes
