BBQ TEMPEH
Steps:
- Slice the tempeh crosswise into ½-inch thick strips. Then, place each strip on its side and slice in half lengthwise to make it thinner.See the step-by-step photos in the blog for reference.
- Optional - steam the tempeh. Place the tempeh pieces in a steamer basket fitted in a saucepan with a few inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and steam the tempeh for 10 minutes. Note: I typically steam tempeh to get rid of its characteristic bitter taste, but I find it unnecessary in this recipe, as the BBQ sauce is so bold in flavor.
- Line a cutting board or plate with a few paper towels.
- Cook the tempeh. Heat a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat with 1 ½ tablespoons of the oil. Once the oil is shimmering (it will take a few minutes), arrange the tempeh slices in a single layer. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 ½ minutes, until nicely golden brown on the bottom side. Brush the top side of each tempeh piece with the remaining oil or spray with cooking spray (I used avocado oil spray), then flip each piece and cook on the second side for 2 ½ to 4 more minutes until seared on the other side. Transfer to the paper towels.Turn the heat off and allow the pan to cool down for a few minutes.
- Make the BBQ sauce (recipe below). Note: you do NOT need to simmer the BBQ sauce on the stove for a full 5 minutes, as in step #2 in the recipe card below. You will simmer it for a few minutes in the next step.
- Return the frying pan to medium-low heat and pour in the BBQ Sauce. Allow the sauce to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until gently simmering, stirring with a silicone spatula. If the pan is too hot, the sauce will rapidly simmer, so lower the heat a touch. Add the tempeh back to the pan, and coat the tempeh in the sauce for a minute or two until very saucy. Enjoy!

BARBEQUE TEMPEH SANDWICHES
I hate tofu but love tempeh and this sandwich is tangy and tasty. My boyfriend and I eat this all the time. It's great because it's vegan for him and I still like it (even though I'm not a vegetarian).

BARBECUED TEMPEH
Barbecue sauce transforms virtuous tempeh into finger-licking comfort food. One of the benefits of homemade barbecue sauce is the ability to adjust the seasonings to suit your own taste. Use the recipe below as a guideline, altering the ingredients as you see fit. (In a pinch, bottled barbecue sauce may be used.) Times are estimated.

GRILLED BBQ TEMPEH STEAKS
A simple homemade barbecue sauce transforms tempeh into the new cookout classic. This soy-based protein source can be grilled whole, but a little extra knife work allows all the sauce to really seep in. We think a good barbecue sauce should have a perfect balance of acid, umami and sweetness and this one is worth its weight in charred, sticky gold. After just a few minutes on the grill, you'll have shellacked steaks that are pure summer vibes.

Steps:
- Combine the ketchup, maple syrup, Dijon, vinegar, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Whisk together and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is thick and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat.
- Meanwhile, cut each block of tempeh in half parallel to the cutting board to create a total of 4 thinner slabs, then cut each slab in half crosswise. Gently score the tempeh diagonally in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Generously brush the scored side of the tempeh with about one-third of the barbecue sauce, letting it seep into the crevices. Grill sauce-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 4 minutes. Brush the tops of the tempeh with another third of the barbecue sauce, then flip and grill, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 4 minutes more. Brush the tops of the tempeh with the remaining barbecue sauce.
- Transfer the grilled tempeh to a platter and serve immediately.
