Why This Dish Is Amazing

A great way to enjoy tofu with bold flavors. The marinade adds a rich, savory taste that soaks into the tofu. It’s perfect for a healthy meal that feels satisfying and fresh.

Chef Tips

- Press the tofu well to remove excess moisture before marinating.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-oiled grill to prevent sticking.
- Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor.

Directions

Pres the block of tofu gently to squeeze out as much water as you can. Then, rub the grill seasoning all over it. Pop the tofu into a resealable plastic bag and toss it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or even overnight if you have the time. When you’re ready, take it out and let it thaw on the counter until it’s soft enough to slice. Cut the block in half lengthwise, put the pieces back in the bag, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, seal it up, and give the bag a little massage to coat the tofu evenly with the oil and seasoning. Let it sit for about 15 minutes so the flavors can soak in. Heat up your griddle or grill over medium heat, then cook the tofu steaks until they get nice and crispy—about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve them right away while they’re hot and delicious.

Serving Inspiration

Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness. It also goes well with rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Drizzle a little extra marinade or sauce on top for added taste.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftover tofu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it separate from any fresh garnishes to maintain texture. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to keep it firm.
