Ingredients
Seitan Reuben
- 8 slices Rye Bread
- ½ Batch Vegan Beef
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 6-8 slices Vegan Swiss Cheese
- Vegan Butter for cooking
Vegan Russian Dressing
- 1 cup Vegan Mayo
- ¼ cup Ketchup
- ¼ cup White Onion minced
- 2 teaspoons Prepared Horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vegan Worcestershire see note
- ¼ teaspoon Salt more to taste
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Make a batch of Vegan Beef. Please note that the vegan beef needs to sit overnight.
- Thinly slice the vegan beef and heat a frying pan on medium-high heat- add a small splash of oil. Add the vegan beef and cook until lightly golden and browned, about 3-5 minutes.
- Make the Russian dressing by whisking together all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
- Spread a heaping spoonful of the Russian dressing on the rye bread and top with thinly sliced vegan beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a drizzle of more sauce as well as the top piece of bread.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add enough vegan butter to coat the pan- you'll need more in between each sandwich.
- Cook each side of the sandwich for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crisp- I recommend covering the pan with a lid for the first few minutes to help the cheese melt.
- Serve with more Russian dressing on the side and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes 4 sandwiches- you will probably have leftover beef. ½ a loaf can make between 6 to 8 sandwiches depending on how stuffed they are. See the vegan beef blog post for ways to use up the leftovers.
You will also have a little bit of leftover sauce to make a few more sandwiches or you can use the extra sauce for dipping.
Total cooking time does not include making the vegan beef- please do that the night before.
