Ingredients
  

For the "Steak" Bites

  • 1 lb plant-based steak e.g., seitan or soy-based strips
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder

For the Roasted Vegetables

  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Yes, actually turn it on this time.
  • Chop all your vegetables like you're auditioning for "Top Chef: Passive-Aggressive Edition."
  • Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands—be a rebel.
  • Spread veggies on a baking sheet and roast them for 20–25 minutes until they’re golden and dramatic.
  • While they roast, heat a skillet over medium heat with vegan butter. Melt it like your willpower on cheat day.
  • Add minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, pepper, and onion powder. Stir until it smells better than your last date.
  • Throw in the plant-based steak. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.
  • Flip with tongs like you’ve done this before. Confidence counts.
  • Remove veggies from the oven. Whisper "you’re perfect" as they cool.
  • Serve steak bites over the roasted veggies. Drizzle any extra garlic butter sauce on top (you’re not basic).

Extra Notes & Tips

  • Use pre-chopped veggies if you’ve got better things to do—like literally anything else.
  • Add red pepper flakes for spice or lemon zest for flair.
  • Leftovers? Toss 'em in a wrap. Or don’t. No one’s judging.
  • Want next-level flavor? Marinate the "steak" 30 minutes before cooking. It’s bougie, but worth it.
  • Don’t crowd the pan—this ain’t a house party. Let the steak bites breathe.
