Today's Ingredients Trust me — I love myself a good slab of medium-rare steak. But high quality cuts are too pricey to justify buying meat on a random Tuesday. Plus, it usually requires extra time and patience to maximize its flavor potential — neither of which I care to give after a long day of work. Enter a versatile, vegetarian alternative: tofu steaks. Yes, yes, I *know* that this sounds like a cop-out substitute, but let me remind you of a few things: Tofu is high in protein, essential amino acids, and various vitamins and nutrients. It takes significantly less time to prepare than a normal cut of beef, and it's more affordable. And truly, any kind of sauce or marinade you can think of will go well with it. I can see it now: Today's recipe is going to make you a tofu steak stan ... maybe.   • Food to live well: 6 drinks that can help lower your blood pressure quickly   • News to know: These disease risk factors are on the rise worldwide   • Exercises to try: A list of some of the best forearm exercises Talk to you again next week! Kenny Thapoung Managing Newsletter Editor   Written by Kenny Thapoung June 2, 2024 • 2 min read Recipe of the Week My favorite meat-free steak If you don't have a tofu press, I highly recommend getting one (I have an option for you below). In a pinch, you can follow the recipe's advice and place a heavy pot or pan over a tofu block to push out the water. Once the tofu is pressed, the rest of the cooking process is straightforward: Season all sides with salt and pepper and cook until the two larger sides are well browned. The real flavor comes from the romesco sauce, which has a surprise ingredient: almond butter. I've never thought to add a nut butter to a red sauce until I found this recipe! Its addition gives the sauce an extra kick of protein — and I'm all for a nutrient-dense, filling meal.

I watched a how-to video of Tofuture's version, and I was instantly hooked. It uses elastic bands to press the tofu to whatever thickness you want. The best part is that you can set it, forget it, and come back to tofu ready to drain and marinate!
