Nutritional Yeast Crusted Tofu Steak
Pan-seared tofu steaks coated in a savory nutritional yeast and hemp seed crust, served over a bed of wilted spinach with a zesty lemon finish.
INGREDIENTS
12 oz Extra firm tofu
0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
0.5 tbsp Hemp seeds
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0 tsp Avocado oil
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Wrap the extra firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for 15 minutes to press out all moisture.
Slice the pressed tofu into four even steak rectangles.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush each tofu steak lightly on all sides with the plain non-fat Greek yogurt to act as a binder.
Press each tofu steak firmly into the nutritional yeast mixture until every side is thoroughly coated with the savory crust.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the tofu steaks in the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tofu from the pan and quickly toss the baby spinach in the residual heat for 30 seconds until just wilted.
Plate the tofu steaks over the spinach and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
