This simple and flavorful tofu steak is perfect for a quick, satisfying meal made just for you. With a delicious marinade that brings out the best in every bite, it’s a great way to enjoy plant-based protein.
Start by gently pressing the tofu to get rid of as much water as you can. Then, rub the grill seasoning all over the block so it’s nicely coated. Pop the tofu into a resealable bag and stick it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or even overnight if you have the time.
When you’re ready, take the tofu out and let it thaw on the counter until it’s soft enough to slice. Cut it in half lengthwise, then put the pieces back in the bag. Drizzle in some olive oil, seal it up, and give the bag a little rub to make sure the tofu gets evenly coated with the oil and seasoning. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Heat up a griddle or your outdoor grill to medium. Place the tofu steaks on there and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they get nice and crispy. Flip them over and cook the other side the same way. Serve warm and enjoy!
- Press the tofu well to remove excess water before marinating.
- Let the tofu sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook over medium heat to get a nice crispy crust without burning.
This dish is a great way to enjoy tofu with bold flavors in a small portion. It’s perfect for anyone cooking for themselves and wanting a healthy, satisfying meal. The marinade adds a delicious punch that makes the tofu taste anything but plain.
Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a light meal. Adding a side of rice or quinoa makes it more filling. Drizzle some extra marinade or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.
Store any leftover tofu in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the marinade separate to prevent sogginess. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before eating.
