Question

Can you BBQ tofu steak on a regular bbq grill or do you haved to grill Tofu steak on a flat smooth grill?

Answer 1

You need a veggie screen to BBQ it on a regular BBQ grill. Most shops that sell grills have them.

Answer 2

There's something called smoked, or baked tofu that is great for grilling. Much firmer than regular tofu (you can find it at Trader Joe's). If not baked or smoked, be sure to get extra firm and oil the grill.

Answer 3

Try this-do it a day in advance:

Freeze the tofu, then thaw it out.  Put a couple of paper towels in a colander and leave the tofu in it overnight.  These steps firm it up.

Marinate them for about an hour or two in your favorite marinade.  Then grill them--either lightly oil the grill first or use a grill pan.

Fun things to grill with it:  Pearl onions, sweet potato slices.  And if you want something else as a "steak", try marinating large portabello mushroom caps (trim out the fins and stem first) and grilling.  Either the tofu or the mushrooms do not take long.

Answer 4

I'd use a grill pan that has the raised ridges to make the grill marks.  Or use a grill basket that holds your tofu and veggies.
