Grilled Seitan with Rocket

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the seitan steaks dry with paper towels and brush both sides generously with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

   Tip: Dry seitan helps it achieve a better char when grilling.

2. 2

   Season all sides of the seitan with sea salt, black pepper, and oregano.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and allow it to heat for 5 minutes until hot.

   Tip: A hot grill creates beautiful grill marks and caramelization.

4. 4

   Place the seitan steaks on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side without moving them.

   Tip: Resist the urge to flip too early to develop a golden crust.

5. 5

   Flip the seitan and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the second side until grill marks appear and the edges are caramelized.

6. 6

   While the seitan grills, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

7. 7

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh rocket, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.

8. 8

   Drizzle the rocket salad with balsamic vinegar and toss gently to combine.

9. 9

   Transfer the grilled seitan steaks to serving plates and drizzle with the warm garlic and lemon oil.

10. 10

    Divide the rocket salad among the plates alongside the seitan, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, and serve immediately.

    Tip: Serve while the seitan is still warm for the best flavour contrast with the fresh salad.
