‘Seitaninhos de cebolada’ (seitan steaks with onion and tomatoes)

Another typical Portuguese dish that I happily transformed in a delicious vegan main. Simple (once seitan is done/ purchased) and very few, simple ingredients. It goes well with pretty much everything: rice, chips, roasted potatoes and veggies, salad… I had rice and roasted beetroot with it, delicious!
