I think they are actually talking about a whole "beef cube" cut in half and simmering it.
Here's the recipe--
½ Onion, sliced 3 Garlic cloves, minced 2 c. Mushrooms, sliced thick ¾ c. Red Wine 18oz Vegan “Beef” Cubes, cut in half2 c. Vegetable Broth 1/3c + 1 T. Whole-wheat Pastry Flour ¼ t. Salt ½ t. Black Pepper 2 T. Soy Sauce 4 c cooked short-grain Brown Rice 1. Saute onion in a large saucepan over medium heat until translucent. If you prefer to caramelize the on-ions, cook until light brown. Then, add 1 T of water and cook for 3-4 more minutes until darker brown and sweet. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic. Remove onions and garlic from saucepan and set aside. 2. Place mushrooms in a single layer in saucepan and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat until light brown. Turn mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes on remaining side. Use the cover, if needed, to keep mushrooms from sticking. Remove mushrooms from saucepan and set aside. 3. Pour wine into the saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Add “beef” tips and simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 minutes. 4. While waiting, mix the remaining ingredients, except rice, in a small bowl and whisk until the flour lumps are dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the onions, garlic, mushrooms and gravy mixture to the beef and wine sauce and continue to cook until the gravy thickens. Stir constantly. 5. Serve the beefless tips and gravy over the brown rice. This pairs nicely with a green vegetable such as

Gardein makes beef cubes (not bouillon), I know there are others, but I've never been a fan of vegan beef substitutes.

You could use Better than Bouillon vegan beef base (make sure it's the vegan one, they also have meat bases): http://www.superiortouch.com/retail/products/better-than-bouillon (should be able to find it in your grocery store with other broths)
or Edward and Sons vegan beef cubes: http://store.veganessentials.com/natural-vegan-chicken-and-beef-bouillon-cubes-by-edward--sons-p2122.aspx (found on Vegan Essentials)
