Would you love to try a vegan cheese steak? How about making it from scratch yourself? I’ve made ground beef from carrots in the past, so now let me show you how to make carrot steak. If you like this recipe be sure to check out this one too! and this one!
Carrot Boiling
First you need a bunch of carrots, I’m using about ten to make two sandwiches. I washed the carrots and used a peeler to make thin strips. Add them into a saucepan and cover them with about a teaspoon or two of salt as well as some fresh cracked black pepper and about two teaspoons of the plant basics beef seasoning. Bring this over to the stove, turn on the heat, cover everything in water then bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling I lower the heat and allow it to rest for about fifteen minutes.
Carrot Cooking
When the carrots are done, you can see how dark their color becomes. I strain them and save the liquid for later. Preheat the oven for 350ºf then toss the carrots onto a lined baking sheet. Spread them out nice and even so they have enough room to cook on their own. I coated them with some more black pepper. Toss those in the oven and check them every few minutes, they can burn very quickly and easily. It ended up taking about ten minutes.
While the carrots were baking I chopped about half of an onion and tossed some oil into a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions in and let them cook until translucent. When the onions are done add in the carrots with them. Allow the onions to kind of steam the carrots. Then to this I added about a teaspoon or two of the extra marinating liquid that we saved earlier. Cover that up and allow it to steam/cook for about ten minutes.
Enjoy!
While those cook I prepared my bun, I added some vegan mayonnaise inside. Then load up the buns with the carrot meat and cover it with vegan cheese that I made myself! It tastes like regular steak and cheese! You wouldn’t know this was made from carrots! It has some sweet tastes, some savory tastes. The meat is so flavorful! The meaty/steaky texture and taste is awesome. This vegan cheese steak is unbelievable! Watch the full video here!
