Spicy Grilled Tofu Steaks

 

• 1 - 16 oz. block organic firm tofu
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. avocado oil, divided
• 2 tbsp. hoisin sauce
• 2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Press the tofu for 10 minutes.  Slice the tofu into "steaks".  

Move the tofu steaks into a glass dish.

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tsp. oil, hoisin sauce and soy sauce.  Stir to mix well.  Pour the sauce into the dish with the tofu, moving the tofu around so all sides are covered.  

Move to the fridge to allow to marinade until ready to grill.

In a separate small bowl, mix the dry ingredients - cumin, chili powder, crushed red pepper, cayenne and salt.

Heat 2 tbsp. avocado oil on the Blackstone griddle over medium high heat.  Carefully place the tofu on the skillet.  Sprinkle about half the dry spices evenly over the tofu, close the lid and cook for 4 minutes. 

When the bottoms of the tofu are browned, flip and sprinkle the rest of the dry spices over the top.  Cook for 2-3 minutes.  Flip the tofu over again.  

Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Served here over a bed of veggies - riced cauliflower, onion and bell peppers.  

Serves 4.  Enjoy!!
