Notes
- Take the time to press the tofu. If you aren’t sure how to do it, you can learn more in this guide to pressing tofu. But really, it makes such a difference in the final texture and flavor of the tofu.
- Use extra firm tofu. It will cook up the best on the grill resulting in a firm piece of tofu. Other types of tofu are likely to be too fragile for the grill.
- For perfect grill marks on your steak, place the tofu on the grill and cook without moving on each side.
