Ingredients
- 400 g firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the firm tofu well and gently pressing it with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Slice the tofu into 1-inch thick slabs, resembling breakfast steak slices.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast.
Step 4
Gently marinate the tofu slices in the prepared mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors fully.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated tofu slices in the skillet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Step 7
Cook the tofu slabs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown and slightly crispy exterior.
Step 8
Serve the Vegan Classic Breakfast Steak warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or sautéed vegetables. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
