Makes four boneless “steaks”.

1 1/2 cups cooked red kidney beans
1 cup veggie stock
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp beetroot powder
2 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten

Combine first 5 ingredients in food processor, and process until smooth. Combine in bowl with vital wheat gluten and stir until mixture reaches a dough-like consistency. Divide in four. Form each piece into steak shape and wrap tightly. Place steamer basket in Instant Pot over an inch of water, and set “steam” setting to 15 minutes (see sidebar). Allow pot to cool naturally on completion, then remove breasts from wrappers and cool on racks. Seitan can be used immediately or frozen.
