Best Marinated Tofu Steak For One Recipes

BLACKENED TOFU STEAKS

Steps:

• To begin, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow baking dish. Cut the tofu into 3 even slices (about 3/4" thick) and cut each of those slices into half. Add the thickly cut slabs of tofu to the marinade, ensuring the tofu is fully submerged. Marinade the tofu for at least two hours. Reserve the marinade.
• Once the tofu has marinated, add it to a preheated grill. You can either use an electric grill or outside grill. Grill the tofu for 6-8 minutes per side, until the tofu is slightly charred and cooked all the way through.
• Brush the tofu with extra marinade and serve with steamed vegetables and potatoes.

TOFU STEAK

Steps:

• Press the tofu. Put the tofu on to press for 30 minutes. Ideally use a tofu press but if you don't have one then place the tofu onto a plate with another plate on top of it and then stack something heavy on top like heavy books or a heavy pot.
• Prepare the marinade sauce. While the tofu is pressing add sesame oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup, crushed garlic, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and ground black pepper to a measuring jug and whisk together until well mixed.
• Marinate the tofu steaks. When the tofu is finished pressing, slice it into four rectangular steaks. Place the steaks into a shallow tray and brush all sides with the marinade sauce and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan on medium heat. When hot, brush it with sesame oil.
• Grill the tofu steaks. Add two tofu steaks to the hot grill pan and let them cook for 3 minutes. They should stick to the pan when they first go in, this is fine. After 3 minutes they should release easily from the pan. Flip them over and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. They should now have nice straight grill lines on them.
• Brush with marinade sauce. When the tofu steaks are cooked, use some leftover marinade sauce to brush the steaks on both sides and then remove them from the pan.
• Repeat with the next two tofu steaks.
• Serve with veggies, salad or chips or topped with vegan peppercorn sauce.

• Tofu Steak Preparation:
• Remove the tofu steak from marinade and bread in Japanese panko breadcrumbs. Place the breaded tofu in a fryer set at 350 and fry for approximately two minutes, or until golden-brown. Set aside.
• Stir Fry:
• Over high heat in a medium saute pan add the soy oil. Next add the mushrooms and shishito peppers to the pan and saute until golden. Add 3 oz of stir fry sauce to pan and cook briefly until sauce reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms and peppers. Be careful not to over-reduce the sauce and burn it. Remove from heat.
