Cut each of the blocks of tofu in half lengthwise so that you have two large rectangles with each block.

Cut a crisscross pattern into the tofu without going all the way through, and place them in a large baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dried thyme, garlic powder and black pepper.

Spoon this marinade over the tofu steaks and let them marinate while you make the sauce.

Pre-heat the oven to 435ºF (225ºC).

Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a pot, heat it on high until the sauce comes up to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium low and let the sauce reduce for 15 minutes until thickened.

Once the sauce is ready, place the tofu steaks on a parchment lined baking sheet and spoon some of the sauce over each one.

Roast them in the oven for 20 minutes, brushing more of the sauce halfway through this time.

Brush more of the sauce over the steaks and lower the heat of the oven to 410ºF (210ºC) and roast them for 10 more minutes.

Serve with extra sauce and your favorite sides and enjoy!
