Can you make this without a grill pan or outdoor grill?

Yes, you can grill tofu steaks in a regular non-stick skillet instead. The grill marks will be missing but the tofu will be just as delicious.

Can you bake tofu steaks instead?

To bake, lay the steaks on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in a 350ºF oven for about 40 minutes (flipping halfway).

How long can you marinate tofu?

Tofu can be left to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Can I reuse the tofu marinade?

Absolutely! Just pour the leftover marinade into a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for later.

Instructions

Prepare tofu: Press tofu with tofu press or wrap in layers of paper towel or clean dish towel. Weigh down with a heavy object such as a cast iron frying pan with a couple tins of canned goods on top and press for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 4 (or 6) even slabs for “steaks”
Make marinade: while tofu is pressing, whisk the rest of ingredients in a bowl, until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
Marinade tofu: In a large ziplock bag place tofu slabs in a single layer, pour the marinade over the tofu so it is all coated. Squeeze air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate and marinate for at least an hour preferably longer for more flavor -up to 24 hours.
Grill and enjoy: Remove tofu from the marinade, set tofu slabs on a plate and reserve marinade in a small bowl. Heat a grill pan or outdoor bbq to medium heat (or skillet). Once hot, brush the pan with some oil and or brush tofu. Grill tofu steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side until nice char marks form. Generously brush steaks with some reserved marinade. Serve and enjoy with leftover marinade and your favorite sides. For step by step photos, FAQ, suggestions and more see above post.

Notes

To Store: Place the leftover steaks in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
