Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu block to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into ¾-inch thick steaks.

    Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

      Marinate the Tofu: Place the tofu steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

          Grill the Tofu: Remove the tofu from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the tofu is heated through.

            Serve: Carefully transfer the grilled tofu steaks to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
