Notes
Grilled Tofu Steak can be a little dry so serve with BBQ sauce, salsa, or squeeze fresh lime juice over each steak.
Outdoor grill; tofu can easily stick, use a grill pad, pan, or keep well oiled.
If time allows place pressed tofu into a covered dish and put into the freezer overnight. Remove, thaw, and press again. This helps the tofu to stay together better and gives a firmer "steak-like" finish.
