Step 1

Start by pressing your tofu. I like to use a tofu press for this but you can also do it by wrapping the tofu in a towel or paper towels, placing it on a plate, and then weighing it down with a heavy skillet for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 1/2 inch wide stripes (see video above). I got about 8 out of mine. You don’t want them to be too thin or they’ll fall apart on the grill.

Step 3

Make the tofu marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, fine sea salt, black pepper, and optional liquid smoke.*

Step 4

Place the tofu in a sealable container and cover with the marinade. The marinate for a few hours or even overnight. When possible, I like to flip the tofu pieces over and move them around so that all of the tofu is getting to soak in the liquid.

Step 5

Pre-heat your grill to 450 degrees F and brush the grate with oil. Place the tofu on the grill and grill for 8-10 minutes on each side. It’s done when both sides has firmed up a bit and has some nice grill marks.

Step 6

Serve with some grilled veggies** and ENJOY!
