METHOD
Combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika for the steaks. Combine the beet, 23 cup (160 ml) water, vinegar, mustard, and oil in a mixing bowl. Combine the two mixtures and knead into a smooth dough by hand.
Roll the dough out thinly and fold it over several times. Repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times more, pressing down firmly with the back of your hand each time. The more you press, the more consistent the results.
Make a large loaf of dough and cut it into four steaks. Steam the steaks for 45 minutes in a steamer.
To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Marinate the hot steaks in the marinade for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Grill the steaks for 5 to 7 minutes per side over direct heat, brushing occasionally with the leftover marinade. With the butter, serve.

RECIPE NOTES
If you sear the steaks on a cast-iron grill, you can get nice char marks. Cooking time is reduced to 4 to 6 minutes per side in this case.
