Tofu Steak recipe, Grilled is a tasty and healthy appetizer. It’s crisp outside and soft and creamy inside. Of course, it’s vegan as well. Can also be served with fresh vegetables and rice. A great substitution for chicken for meatless days.
Nowadays, I started exploring various dishes around the world and sharing some of them which I liked the most. The very common factor in all the recipes I have tried are calorie less and healthy. And cheesy, calorie-rich recipes may not be found here as I’m not making it quite often in my kitchen.
It’s kind of freezing outside at 45°F, made me grilling with the comfort coziness at my kitchen. I used portable kitchen Grill for this recipe. But pan searing is also perfect to make the tofu steak.
I used my own marinade, but that’s fine if you are using any store bought marinade as well.
Firm tofu is perfect for this recipe. Your local stores may carry this and may find it in the produce section. It may also be stored along with fresh mushrooms and carrots.
This Vegan recipe is very easier to make, and are great for meatless days. Open the pack and drain the excess water and place it on a plate to get drained completely.
