Take note
Ensure that all the ingredients you use are certified vegan and cruelty-free. Be cautious with handling hot surfaces and sharp tools during cooking.

1

Prep the tempeh and marinade

Start by slicing the tempeh into thin strips. In a bowl, prepare a marinade using soy sauce, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and a touch of maple syrup. Submerge the tempeh slices in the marinade and let them soak up the flavors for at least 30 minutes.

2

Pan-fry the marinated tempeh

Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated tempeh slices for about 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

3

Assemble the Reuben Sandwich

Take your favorite vegan bread slices and spread vegan Russian dressing on one side of each slice. Layer the cooked tempeh, vegan cheese slices, and sauerkraut on one slice of bread. Top it off with the remaining bread slice.

4

Grill or toast the sandwich

Heat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden and toasty.

5

Enjoy your cruelty-free delight

Once your vegan Reuben Sandwich is nicely grilled and toasted, remove it from the pan. Cut it diagonally for that extra fancy touch. Serve it up with a side of vegan coleslaw or a dill pickle, and get ready to savor the plant-based goodness!
