Description

Experience the satisfying flavors of a steakhouse with these hearty tofu steaks, perfect for vegan and vegetarian palates alike. Crafted from extra-firm tofu, these steaks are seasoned to capture the essence of a classic restaurant steak. The magic begins with a flavorful marinade, allowing the tofu to absorb savory notes that penetrate deep within.

After marinating, the steaks are pan-fried to achieve a delightful contrast in textures. The exterior develops a beautiful crispness, offering a satisfying bite that yields to a tender and slightly chewy interior. These versatile tofu steaks invite a variety of serving options.

Consider pairing them with rich and creamy sauces, or a tangy barbecue-style sauce for a delightful culinary experience. For optimal freshness, store any leftover tofu steaks in the refrigerator for up to five days. While the marinade works its wonders in as little as 24 hours, even a shorter soak will impart a noticeable boost in flavor.

To create a complete and balanced meal, these tofu steaks pair wonderfully with a selection of steakhouse-inspired side dishes. Imagine charred broccoli florets or vibrant green beans, lightly coated in olive oil and seasoned with a generous blend of spices. The high heat transforms these humble vegetables, creating delicious caramelized edges and a burst of flavor.

For an extra touch of sophistication, explore the world of infused olive oils, readily available or easily made at home. A drizzle of garlic, herb, or chili-infused oil can elevate your vegetables to new heights, complementing the savory tofu steaks perfectly. This meal offers a symphony of textures and flavors, sure to please even the most discerning palate.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare your tofu up to 24 hours in advance to get the maximum flavor. Begin with a full 14-ounce block of extra firm tofu, and press as much liquid as you can out of the tofu while keeping it intact. Slice the tofu block in half to make 2 shorter rectangles, and then slice those 2 pieces through their middles to make 4, ~3 ½ -ounce tofu steaks. Season one side of each steak with the seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and chili powder.
    2.
    Gently press the seasonings into the tofu so they stick. Arrange the steaks in a dish you can fill with marinade, making sure the steaks are fitting snugly. In a small bowl, stir together the vegetable broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the dish, being careful not to remove the spices from the tofu. Fill the dish with more vegetable broth if necessary until the tofu is just covered by liquid.
    3.
    Cover your tofu steaks and marinate in your refrigerator for a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 24 hours. When you ’re ready to cook the steaks, heat a non-stick pan over very high heat on the stove. When the pan is hot, gently transfer the steaks to the pan seasoned side down. Leave any excess marinade in your dish. Let the steaks cook on the seasoned side until the seasonings char and naturally release from the pan. Reduce the heat, and flip the tofu steaks onto their other side. Now, pour the extra marinade into the pan so it infuses the steaks as they finish cooking. When the tofu steaks have charred on the second side, they ’re ready for serving.
