Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutesIngredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions: How to Cook Tofu Steak
- Press the tofu: Start by pressing the block of tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu between two paper towels and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into thick slices to resemble steak pieces.
- Marinate the tofu: Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each slice is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Cook the tofu: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove the tofu steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your tofu steak with your favorite side dishes or on its own!
