Pro Cooking Tips
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
- Use a non-stick pan or grill to prevent sticking and achieve nice grill marks.
Step 1
Start by gently pressing the tofu to squeeze out as much water as you can. Then, rub the grill seasoning all over the tofu block. Pop it into a resealable plastic bag and stick it in the freezer for at least four hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, take the tofu out and let it thaw on the counter until it’s soft enough to slice. Cut it in half lengthwise, put the pieces back in the bag, drizzle with some olive oil, and seal it up. Give the outside of the bag a good rub to make sure the tofu gets evenly coated with the oil and seasoning, then let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat up a griddle or your outdoor grill over medium heat. Place the tofu steaks on it and cook until they get nice and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Once both sides are golden and crispy, serve them up while they’re hot.
