Lazy Corned "Beef" and Cabbage w/ Veggies
1/2 (8-ounce) package vegan steak strips
1/3 head of cabbage, shredded
2 large red potatoes, sliced or cubed
1/2 onion, thickly sliced (I use sweet yellow)
1 large carrot, sliced
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 (15-ounce) can vegetable broth
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1. Veggies: In a oven-safe pan, combine vegan steak strips, cabbage, potatoes, onion, and carrot.
2. Broth: In separate bowl combine horseradish, vinegar, and mustard; evenly mix. Stir in vegetable broth; mix well. Pour broth over veggies.
3. Cover and bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes. The dish will be done when the potatoes and carrots are soft, or to your liking. Transfer veggies and steak to a bowl.
4. Gravy: Pour the broth from the oven pan into a saucepan over low-medium heat. Add in flour and more vinegar (if you want). Mix completely--if your gravy seems too thick add some water a little at a time until you get the consistency you want.
5. Spoon gravy onto veggies and you have yourself a tasty vegan-Irish treat!
This recipe can easily be converted to suit what you have around the house--the "gravy" tastes pretty good on any vegetable too! The only thing I would suggest you not substitute is the red wine vinegar. White or cider would just not work! I'm pretty lazy so I'm partial to one pot dishes. Enjoy my laziness!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Made this tonight and absolutely loved it. The gravy really takes it to the next level. I agree with adding some salt and pepper. I think next time I make it I will go the extra step of making my own seitan to give it that corned beef flavor, but for a quick and easy St. Patty's dish, this was perfect!
I'm making this tonight. Happy St. Patty's Day! http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs44/f/2009/074/b/8/St__Patricks_Day_by_Romaji.gif
I didn't use horseradish, since I didn't have any and don't like it. I used seitan chunks for the "steak" strips. It was a really easy recipe to make. Next time I would add a little salt and pepper.
this was delicious!
I altered it a bit by adding some salt, pepper and olive oil.
