Need a vegan alternative for the grill? You’re going to love this easy grilled tofu steak recipe! A simple tofu steak marinade infuses it with flavor and then it’s cooked on the grill. Serve it up your favorite sides as a vegan steak or chop it up to add to salads and wraps!
Flip the tofu on its side and slice it into thirds. Press tofu to squeeze water out.
Mix seasonings in a bowl and rub the mixture onto the tofu pieces.
Place tofu on a grill. Cook each side for 7 to 10 minutes.
Brush bbq sauce on each side of the tofu and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Notes
Take the time to press the tofu. If you aren’t sure how to do it, you can learn more in this guide to pressing tofu. But really, it makes such a difference in the final texture and flavor of the tofu.
Use extra firm tofu. It will cook up the best on the grill resulting in a firm piece of tofu. Other types of tofu are likely to be too fragile for the grill.
For perfect grill marks on your steak, place the tofu on the grill and cook without moving on each side.
