Ingredients

  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and sliced into 1-inch thick steaks
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice it into 1-inch thick steaks.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Marinate the Tofu: Place the tofu steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Grill the Tofu: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated tofu steaks for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.
  5. Serve: Remove the tofu from the grill and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
