Ingredients
- 5 ounces of extra-firm tofu
- A tablespoon of grill seasoning (like Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
- A tablespoon of olive oil
Step 1
Gently press the tofu block to squeeze out excess water, allowing it to absorb flavors better. Massage grill seasoning onto the tofu, infusing it with a burst of savory taste. Place the seasoned block in a sealed bag and let it chill in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours or even overnight for enhanced marination.
Step 2
When ready, thaw the tofu until it softens, making it easier to slice into halves lengthwise. Return the slices to the bag, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and seal it shut. Give the bag a gentle shake to ensure the tofu soaks up the oil and seasoning evenly. Allow it to rest for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
Preheat a griddle or grill over medium heat, ready to sizzle the tofu steaks. Cook them until they develop a crispy exterior, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Once both sides are beautifully crisp, plate the tofu steaks hot and ready to enjoy.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. To maximize space in your fridge, store your marinated tofu steak in an airtight container or resealable bag. This will help prevent any spills or leaks that could create a mess and waste your tasty marinade.
- 2. Consider using glass containers or mason jars to store your tofu steak. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they also create a visually appealing storage solution that you can proudly display in your fridge.
