Vegan Filipino Beefsteak Recipe

We had some requests for more vegan Filipino recipes... so here goes!  It is so easy to make and delicious too!

Ingredients:
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
2 8-oz. packages of seitan (or tofu)
1/8 cup lemon juice
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce

Directions:
Put the seitan in a container and add the soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper.  Shake it up, and let it marinate for at least 1 hour.  Once the marinating is done, chop the onion into rings and mince the garlic.  Heat oil in a pan and add the garlic.  Let cook for a minute, then add the onions and a pinch of sea salt.  Saute until the onions get soft.  Add the marinated seitan and stir.  Put the cover on the pan and let simmer for about 10 minutes on medium heat (adding water if it seems to be sticking to the pan).  Serve with some brown rice and vegetables.  Enjoy!

Note:
We made this again with tofu.  It turned out great.  I just cut the tofu into slices and followed the same directions.  I also added some spinach I had left over in the fridge for some extra nutrition!
