Vegan Cheesesteaks 3 Ways

There are several ways you can approach the "meat" portion of a vegan cheesesteak.

  1. Make Your Own Seitan (Vegan Dad's Vegan Philly Cheesesteak)
  2. Buy Prepackaged Seitan (
  3. Use Mushrooms (Eating Well - Replace the cheese with vegan cheese [Daiya is my favorite brand] or omit altogether)

The first might be considered advanced, but although I haven't tried it, I assure you it is delicious! Vegan Dad's recipes never disappoint. The second is just as easy as making a traditional cheesesteak and the third is a nice, whole foods-based alternative. I've eaten a version of a portobello mushroom cheesesteak before and it was delightful.
