Tofu Steak

Step 1

Drain and slice the tofu into 4 steak-sized pieces. Place the tofu steaks on a baking tray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan stock cube, boiling water and light brown sugar.

Step 3

Add the remaining ingredients except for the vegan butter and whisk again.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the tofu steaks and use a pastry brush to make sure each steak is coated on all sides.

Step 5

(Optional) Cover the tofu steaks with a lid and leave to marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Step 6

When you’re ready to cook, heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium heat until very hot. Add the vegan butter and swirl around in the pan.

Step 7

Fry the tofu steaks, two at a time, for around 3-4 minutes on each side, basting with more marinade as needed.

Step 8

Once nicely browned and glossy on both sides, serve with smashed potatoes and peppercorn sauce.
