Before you get started cooking the other ingredients, you can toast your hoagie in a dry saute pan or large toaster until lightly toasted (Optional).
 |
| Toasting the Hoagie |
Veggies
Heat a medium saute pan with 2 teaspoons oil over high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and mushrooms, cook for 5 minutes sauteing and stir occasionally.
 |
| Slightly Sauteed Veggies |
After the 5 minutes, add all the seasonings and nutritional yeast, stir and add in the 1/2 cup water and cover with lid to trap in the steam and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Saute the mixture, adding in more water if needed (another 1/2 cup) to soften the mixture but still with a slight bite, not mushy. Once the mixture is done, remove from heat and place in a separate bowl to use when the Cheesesteak is ready to assemble.

Seitan
In the same emptied pan, heat 2 more teaspoons of oil and place several slices of the seitan to slightly fry and heat through. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes of medium-high heat. Once it is done, arrange the seitan on top of the others in a long row to fit the hoagies.

Assembly
Once your seitan is arranged, spoon your veggie mixture on top of the seitan (evenly distributed).

After the veggies are place, place 1/2 cup of the grated vegan cheese over the top of the mushrooms, onions, and peppers and seitan. To melt the vegan cheese, add 1 Tbsp of water in the saute pan (in the empty spaces) and place the lid on for 2 minutes to steam and melt the cheese.
 |
| Vegan Cheese on top of Veggies |
Once your vegan cheese has melted, place the 1 half of your hoagie roll (toasted or plain) on top of the vegan cheese to stick.

| Half the Hoagie on the Vegan Cheese & Veggies |
Using a spatula, flip the hoagie over and place the other half of the hoagie on top.

At this point you can slice it or serve it whole on a plate with your favorite sides and beverage, Enjoy!
