The method

Step by step

1
In a shallow dish, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper for the marinade.
About 2 min
2
Add the seitan steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
Cook’s note: Marinating longer will enhance the flavor.
3
While the seitan marinates, prepare the chimichurri. In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, fresh oregano, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
About 8 min
Cook’s note: Finely chopping the herbs ensures a better texture for the chimichurri.
4
Stir the chimichurri ingredients well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
About 1 min
5
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
About 5 min
6
Once hot, place the marinated seitan steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until well-browned with nice grill marks.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Avoid moving the steaks too much to get good grill marks.
7
Remove the seitan steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Resting helps the seitan retain its juiciness.
8
Serve the grilled seitan steaks warm, topped generously with the fresh chimichurri sauce.
