Ingredients You Need for Mediterranean Tofu Steaks [Vegan, Gluten-Free]


14-ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch ‘steaks’
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 basil leaves, finely chopped
4 mint leaves, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup kalamata olives, chopped
3 tablespoons dairy-free feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
Garnish of toasted pine nuts
1 1/2 cups spinach, julienned

How to Prepare Mediterranean Tofu Steaks [Vegan, Gluten-Free]


Marinade the tofu in oil, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, spices, and garlic for at least 3 hours, mixing around every now and again to make sure it is all nicely seasoned.
When ready, take out the tofu, reserving the marinade and putting the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and feta in it. Set aside.
Heat up your grill, works indoors on a grill top or outdoors. Place the tofu on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side depending on how firm you like them.
Make a bed of spinach on each plate. Top spinach with grilled tofu and then top with the marinated tomatoes, olives, and feta.
