I'm not vegan but I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption (not every meal needs an animal in it!). That being said this is the best plant-based meat I've ever seen. I wouldn't be able to tell it's not a meat brisket, but most importantly, it looks genuinely mouth watering. Thanks for opening my mind on the possibilities of gluten-based meat!
Girl, you don't mess around...you even incorporate sinew. I am very new to Vegan cooking, like a couple weeks and I am forever grateful for chefs such as you who create kickass undeniable food. Thank you...thank you.
@@yessicainfante831 if you aren't familiar with "Connie's rawsome kitchen" you should check out her channel. She's a talker but her recipes and food styling are amazing too.
I’ve been watching a lot of vegan cooking videos and your videos are up there among my favorites. Doesn’t look like you make videos anymore but you are still inspiring.
I made this last night and oh my god! It is absolutely divine, I really can't thank you enough for this brilliant recipe. Will definitely be a regular meal!
Seitan I have had before, but never how you made that! I do want to make this dish! I am going to watch your video a couple time before attempting it. I am now subscribed for more recipes! Thanks so much for sharing! I am sharing this recipe with some of my family that vegan & vegetarian!
I'm really impressed how real this looks. I've been watching many videos like this. I would love to try it, I just don't have the patience to do all these steps and make it myself.
Such appreciation for your calm and precise way in which you show and explain how to make this yum looking seitan brisket. Can’t wait for more videos! Thankyou x
This looks sooo real, I can’t believe it. I’m gonna give this another shot (first time was an epic fail 🤦🏾♀️). Just in time for the Memorial Day holiday!
The first few trials I did turned out more texturally similar to bread, but letting it rest in between twisting and knotting it a few times changed the texture significantly. I also cooked mine in the microwave for ~1 minute increments, twisting and kneading it after each minute in the microwave; then I seared it in a cast iron skillet, which formed a nice sort of 'bark' very similar to the bark on an actual smoked brisket.
@@connorapurcell I think the blending is important to that ''meat'' like texture because of all the seitan videos I've watched, only the ones where they used a blender or food processor after making the gluten mix did the final product come out looking almost exactly like meat. The ones using the more traditional method seem to always produce something that looks more like bread than meat. And I'm sure they're delicious, but if you're actually trying to make a meat replacement, I think it should actually look like it, if for nothing else than to convince anti-vegan people that not all vegan meat replacements are just subpar imitations.
@@landshark1215 yeah, it also helps if it's not just raw "meat" too. I'm currently in the process of making a faux-Texas smoked-style brisket that'll be covered in my barbeque sauce, with a pickled onion and pickled green tomato, served on a bun. It's surprising how much the addition of sauce and a few toppings can help sell the "meat".
Hi Yessica, my wife and I are living vegan for more than eight years. We have already tried many recipes with Vital Wheat Gluten Seitan (VWG), but none has really thrilled us. We have not used the WTF method before. Your explanation of the Washed Flour Method method (WTF) is exemplary. It made it a breeze to lay the groundwork for the vegan brisket. The recipe for the vegan brisket itself is also wonderful. I made the vegan brisket yesterday afternoon and evening. Our whole apartment smelled incredibly delicious. Then today we ate the vegan brisket together with my son and his girlfriend. What can I say, the taste was just incredibly good. It's not that we miss animal meat. However, it was still a great experience to prepare vegan meat that is not inferior to animal meat. Thank you for this awesome recipe and for all the work you put into this and the other videos. I will definitely be trying more of your WTF recipes and certainly some of your VWG recipes. Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing!
Yay! So nice to hear that! This is why I share my recipes. It was difficult for my family to find meatless options when we first stopped eating meat 5 years ago. I really appreciate your feedback/comment 😊. Happy holidays!
@@yessicainfante831 Thank you very much for your reply. The vegan brisket really tasted fantastic. Like your family, my family also gave it 10 out of 10. Happy Holidays!
First: I am a meat-eater. The end product looks absolutely amazing and I WILL BE making it this week. Second: During the stretching and knotting phase, my stomach literally turned because it looked so much like beef innards that I was grossed out lol. When it was stretched out into a u-shape, the seitan looked exactly like venison backstrap or beef tenderloin. This recipe is astonishing and truly an engineering and chemistry marvel (as said by Larissa down below). Well DONE!! ~RS
Lol! Thank you! Yeah, you’ll be surprised how much it smells like raw meat too. 🤯 my kids we’re definitely grossed out by the process. They gobbled it up after cooking though! 😜
So I made this yesterday (first try) and it is AMAZING!!!! The flavor is full and rich and the texture is incredible. Will be taking this to the beach house this weekend and will be grilling it with BBQ sauce....I know my non-meat friends AND carnivore friends will be so amazed. Thanks, Yessica....you are a treasure.
Great recipe! I would absolutely serve this to dinner guests. Thanks so much for sharing this with the world. I wanted to suggest that, if you press this brisket under a weight like Korean "pyeonyuk," you might get a denser texture which you could then slice thinly. Just a suggestion! Thank you chef!
Awesome! The texture is great. I made mine similar to a smoked Texas BBQ brisket, and it turned out very similar to the bark section of an actual brisket. I cooked it in the microwave in intervals of ~30 seconds/1 minute, then seared it on a stove top. Thanks for sharing this!
This looks delicious 😋, I will be trying this! , its crazy how much this looked like a real brisket or pot roast, and then at the end of the video how the vegan brisket shredded apart like how a real brisket or roast shreds apart was mind blowing 🤯, thanks for sharing this video, I will be trying this.👏🏽👏🏽
*takes out the smallest whisk I’ve seen* “Now take the smallest whisk you can find... just kidding, I ordered this one from Amazon and it was smaller than I thought.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was amazing ♥️, im praying that the lord will help me become vegan and these recipes will really help, I may have to substitute some of the ingredients but thanks so much for your easy directions
Instant like and subscribe. I’ve been intending to try a seitan recipe for a while now. This one looks insanely delicious. Thank you for your creativity!
I don't know how I missed this one before. I was looking for a way of not having to use a blender but mixing more ingredients into my wtf seitan. Looking forward to trying this over the weekend!
I really like the technique of covering the knots with the extra piece! Brilliant! I have been hesitant to incorporate the seasoning into the dough, because I thought it would ruin the gluten formation and shreddy texture (I rest the dough before washing and after). But this looks great!
This was epic. I am plant based but because I am gluten free...I almost exited. But when you got to the Wisk tool instructions woman you had me. Super funny to instruct all to use the tiniest Wisk we can find. Been there done that when that Amazon picture looks full size and the price can't be beat, it's the deal of the century. When it arrives you wonder which century. : )
My meat eating parents are coming into town soon, and I'm so glad I found your channel just in time to make food for them that we'll all be able to eat together! My partner and I made the not chicken yesterday as a trial run and were very happy with the results, making the brisket today!! Thank you Yessica!!!
just made a seitan brisket following the instructions (though not flavouring ingredients but that shouldn't matter) of a wicked kitchen video and it is so chewy. came here for next time, looking at that texture i can't wait.
Another wonderful video! Every time you put out a new video, I always want to try it. It's amazing how the texture of the brisket is so great. Thanks for the inspiration to try new cooking techniques and to create new meals
This is truly a combination of engineering, chemistry, nutrition, and cooking all combined in one. I’m in awe, this is amazing!
It is 💜💜 I just made pastrami and I’m excited 😝 love her combination
And art skills. She makes it look so realistic. I'm not even vegan but this was way too bloody looking.
Not much nutrition tho if we bein honest
And love
@@iLoveBoysandBerries I came here to say this too!! Lots of love!

This has to be the most realistic looking vegan meat I've ever seen. Saved ready to tackle!!🙏❤️
Not only that, but it can taste exactly like meat -- to the point it can confuse you.
That cutting board looks like a vegan crime scene ;)
🤣 Yeah, I’m getting special effects ideas now!

Seitanic
I just made it, AMAZING.... The BEST recipe of seitan i made so far.... Thank you
It’s amazing, very tasty. My husband, the meat eater, wants us to make it every week. He calls it a 10 out of 10.
That’s great! Always nice when the meat eaters like it too! 🤗
How long did it take you?
Wow what a great compliment!
I’ve been watching a lot of vegan cooking videos and your videos are up there among my favorites. Doesn’t look like you make videos anymore but you are still inspiring.

Your pictures on the Seitan Appreciation Society Facebook group look AMAZING!!! You should be proud!
What does it taste like? Do you really get a "meat" experience with this?
That's a great tutorial on how to make guts for horror movies!
This looked so real I literally gagged haha.
Yeah, it looked pretty gross when I was kneading it!
@@yessicainfante831 I concur. You're an artist.
🙄
Funny I did the same when making my pastrami one. I was like 🤮🥴 But I had to say girl it’s all in your mind 😂
Me too!
It looks so realistic, unbelievable
Omg! It looks so real!! I was in shock when you were making it because I couldn't believe you didn't just slaughter something

Great job! Tiny whisk!
Thank you 🙏🏻😊
