For the “beef,” I use Gardein Beefless Tips but you could also use seitan.

How to serve Vegan Beef Tips and Gravy:

Technically, these saucy seitan bites could stand on their own but for the full-on old school effect, try serving them with

  • mashed potatoes
  • rice
  • pasta
  • a side of peas or green beans
  • and don’t forget the Dinner Rolls

    This turned out excellent! I didn’t have all of the ingredients…. So did a few substitutions 🙂 For the broth, I used a cup and a 1/2 of water, half a cup of Is dry red wine, a teaspoon of the Better than Bouillon No Chicken base, and a teaspoon of the a vegetable base. Also added some Portobello mushrooms. My husband, who is not a vegetarian, said this could compete with any of the meat versions he has had! Thank you Holly! Great recipe!

    I was surprised by the sweet taste. But still a great taste. I accidentally used coconut cream instead of coconut milk. Hubby liked it, so it was a success.

      Thanks, Mary! Coconut cream would definitely make this dish sweeter. I’m glad it still worked! 😊
