Instructions

Prepare the Tempeh: Begin by steaming the tempeh for about 10 minutes until it is soft. Once steamed, crumble the tempeh into a bowl.

Season the Mixture: Add the ground nutmeg, ground cumin, and minced garlic to the crumbled tempeh. Mix well to combine the flavors.

Cook the Steaks: Heat a non-stick skillet (teflon) over medium heat and add two tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, place the tempeh patties in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.

Prepare the Vegetables: While the steaks are cooking, blanch the broccoli, sweet corn, green beans, and carrot in boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside.
