Grilled Tofu Steak
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of extra firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to make the marinade.
- Cut the pressed tofu into 4 equal-sized steaks and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu steaks, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the tofu steaks from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
- Serve the grilled tofu steaks hot, with your favorite side dishes or barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
