description Tofu Steak Overview

Tofu steak is a dish built around a thick slice of firm or pressed tofu that is seared on a griddle or in a frying pan and served as an individual portion. Japanese versions commonly pair it with soy-based sauces and garnishes such as grated daikon, scallions, mushrooms, or ginger, although the term is also used more broadly in vegetarian cooking. It is distinguished by presenting tofu as the central item rather than as a small component of a soup, stir-fry, or stew.
