INGREDIENTS
400g Extra Firm Tofu
1 tbsp Olive Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then slice it into steak-like pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture to create a marinade.
Gently toss the tofu slices in the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow the tofu to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, lay the tofu slices in the pan without crowding them.
Sear the tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Adjust seasoning if needed during cooking.
Once cooked, remove the tofu steaks from the pan and serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
