Ingredients
  

  • Sandwich rolls Amoroso's if possible
  • 1 package 16 oz SUPER FIRM tofu
  • 1/2 a large onion diced
  • 1 cup liquid can be water, or broth, or a mixture of both

Marinade

Cheese Sauce

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Pickled Jalapeño Brine
  • 8 oz vegan cheese shreds
  • 1/2 tsp Sodium Citrate optional for smoother cheese
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Tofu Steak:

  • Remove tofu from packaging and pat dry. Slice into thin strips.
  • Make the marinade by combining everything in a bowl. Add the tofu strips to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade. Don't worry if you break up the slices!
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper / cooking spray and spread out the tofu pieces in a single layer. Bake at 350 F for 20 - 30 minutes, or until the tofu is slightly dried out and chewy.
  • While the tofu is baking, grill up the diced onion in some oil and vegan butter. Once tofu is baked, add it to the pan with the grilled onion.
  • Add 1 cup of liquid (either water, broth, or a mixture, depending on how salty you want the meat) and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and then simmer until the liquid is mostly reduced. About 10 - 15 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
  • Your meat is done! Enjoy as you wish!

Cheese Sauce:

  • Soak the raw cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  • Blend the drained cashews with the unsweetened plant milk in a high speed blender until smooth.
  • Add everything but the cheese shreds to a saucepan, whisk to combine and bring to a light boil. Add cheese shreds and whisk until melted. Taste and adjust for seasoning, or add more plant milk if the sauce is too thick.
  • ENJOY!
