Greek Tofu Steaks
Marinated and grilled to perfection, tofu is the perfect protein to pair with a summery Greek salad and cheesy flatbread.

FOR THE MARINADE, COMBINE:
FOR THE SALAD, COMBINE:
Find the Chinese-style tofu, best for this recipe, packed in tubs of water (not aseptic packages) in the produce or organic section of the grocery store.
Instructions
For the marinade, combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, tamari, oregano, rosemary, and garlic in a bowl. Season marinade with salt and pepper; transfer to a shallow dish.
Cut tofu into 4 thin slices and press with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Microwave tofu on a paper-towel-lined plate 3 minutes at 50-percent power to dry. Place tofu in marinade, spoon marinade over the top, and cover. Marinate tofu 1 hour (or up to 24 in the refrigerator), turning periodically.
Preheat grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil. Remove tofu from marinade and grill, covered, until crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
For the salad, combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion, pepperoncini, oregano, lemon juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve steaks with salad and Pita Wedges.
Tamari, thicker than soy sauce but similarly flavored, adds deeper and meatier flavor to the marinade.
Cutting the tofu "steaks" thin allows them to be submerged in the marinade for better flavor.
Grill tofu just to crisp and dry. The steaks will have a brown color from the marinade.
