If you are looking for a delicious sandwich, this vegan philly cheesesteak will hit the spot! It’s filled with peppered seitan steak bites, soft carnalized onions, and a gooey vegan cheddar sauce inside a soft bun.
This high protein sandwich is made with seitan beef bites but can be easily swapped for your favorite vegan beef substitute. Although I recommend giving the homemade seitan beef bite recipe a try since it’s not only delicious, but much more affordable compared to premade vegan beef options at the store.
