Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce *see note
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp steak spice
Directions
- Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel and place a book on top to press some of the moisture out. (You can also use a tofu press if you have one.
- Combine remaining ingredients (soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and steak spice) to a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Chop tofu into triangular steaks (or any shape your prefer).
- Pour and brush a small amount of the marinade in the bottom of a large baking dish and add the tofu to the baking dish in a single layer.
- Pour and brush the marinade all over the tofu steaks, coating them completely.
- Add the tofu to the air fryer at 400F for 10 minutes.
- Flip the tofu and air fry at 400F for another 5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Please note: this recipe is quite flavourful and salty. If you would prefer a less salty version, use 1 Tbsp each of soy sauce and water, rather than 2 Tbsp soy sauce.
- Serve with potatoes or a whole grain, and your favourite salad or other vegetables.
