🌱Maple Soy Baked Tofu Steaks
By cookingforpeanuts
Recipe:
Makes 4 steaks
✅1 14-ounce block extra firm tofu, pressed, and drained
2/3 cup maple syrup
½ cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
16 medium spears of asparagus, ends trimmed
✅Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
✅Turn the block of tofu on its side, with the longer side face up. Slice down the middles lengthwise to make 2 large rectangles. Place both rectangles onto the cutting board, with the larger side face down. Use a sharp knife to score a crosshatch pattern on the top of both rectangles. Take care not to cut too far down or the steaks will fall apart. Slice each scored rectangle in half lengthwise through the middle to make 4 long, even rectangles.
✅In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup, tamari, garlic powder, garlic, sriracha, and black pepper.
✅Place the steaks in a rimmed dish in a single layer, crosshatched side face up, and pour about one half of the marinade onto the steaks. Use a pastry brush to coat the steaks generously with the marinade and get it into the cracks. Set aside for 15 minutes.
✅Transfer the tofu steaks to a baking sheet. (Pour the remaining marinade back into the bowl.) Bake the steaks for 30 minutes, brushing generously with the marinade every 10 minutes.
✅Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the asparagus for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and just tender. (For oil-free, brush the asparagus with the marinade and roast with the tofu.)
✅Transfer the asparagus. Add the remaining marinade to the skillet. Heat the marinade over medium-low heat for until it starts to bubble. Pour the marinade over the tofu steaks and asparagus for serving.
