Teriyaki Tofu Steaks

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. If you have a hot oven going for another dish, this is a good thing to roast at the same time if your meal needs extra protein. This is truly not a recipe, though it will seem like one when it comes out of the oven! Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a roasting pan or baking sheet with baking parchment. Cut a 16-ounce block of tofu crosswise into 6 slabs, then blot well (since I have teenage sons, I always double this). Arrange the tofu in the prepared pan. You can cut shallow diagonal slashes into the tofu so it will absorb the sauce a little more deeply. Spoon a little good-quality, natural teriyaki sauce over each slab of tofu. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip gently. Spoon a little more teriyaki over each slab of tofu, then bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer.
