Instructions
1
Press and Season Tofu
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.
2
Thaw and Oil Tofu
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.
3
Grill Tofu Steaks
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.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Serving Suggestions
Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with rice or quinoa to soak up the marinade juices. Adding a drizzle of a tangy sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can brighten the flavors.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the tofu tender. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture.
