My Notes:
Servings: (makes 4 small tofu steaks)
Ingredients
- 1 12oz block(s) extra-firm tofu drained and pressed (see step 1)
- 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 1/2 cup(s) vegan BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu by draining it, and then pressing it for 15 to 30 minutes. I love using my Tofuture tofu press, but you can also follow these instructions for a DIY tofu pressing method. Pressing the tofu squeezes excess water out so that the tofu can suck up more of the marinade and become more flavourful.Â
- Prepare your grill or grill pan by making sure it is clean and warmed to medium-high heat.
- Slice the tofu block into 4 steaks at least 1/2 inch thick or thicker. Drizzle the tofu with the olive oil and rub over the tofu. Season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper and rub into the oil.
- Place the tofu on the hot grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until they easily release from the grates and nice grill marks are formed. Flip the tofu and repeat on the other side.
- Brush the tofu generously with BBQ sauce flip and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Brush with more BBQ sauce before serving. Serve hot.
