Easy Garlic Soy Tofu Steak

A delicious plant-based alternative to traditional steak, with crispy edges, a savory garlic glaze, and plenty of flavor.

Ingredients

1 block extra-firm tofu, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp cornstarch.

Instructions

1. Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water.

2. Slice into thick, steak-shaped pieces.

3. Mix soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl.

4. Brush the marinade over both sides of the tofu and let sit for 15 minutes.

5. Sprinkle both sides lightly with cornstarch.

6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the tofu for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

7. Brush with any remaining marinade and cook for another minute.

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for an easy and satisfying meal!
