Instructions
Step 1
To prepare the rub, combine the granulated garlic, smoked paprika and cumin; mix well. Set aside.
Step 2
Cut the extra-firm tofu in half lengthwise to make multiple "steaks" abut 3/8 inch thick. Brush lightly with olive oil. Press the rub into both sides of the tofu steaks. Just before grilling, season the tofu steak with kosher salt.
Step 3
Place tofu directly on the cooking grate over direct heat and sear. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the tofu steak with a pair of tongs and a flat spatula if necessary.
Step 4
Sear the second side and continue grilling until done, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cut tofu into thin slices and serve with Chimichurri Sauce.
