Hearty Vegan Stout Stew

Ingredients 0/13

Step 1

Gently heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a splash of soy sauce in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the seitan and cook it until it’s nicely browned all over, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Warm the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, and garlic, cooking everything until the onions turn soft and translucent—about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Turn the heat down to medium and slowly pour in the beer, stirring it into the veggies as you go.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the brown sugar, flour, thyme, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine everything. Then, add the browned seitan back into the pot.

Step 5

Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, lower the heat, and let it cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together—this should take around 45 minutes.
