Directions

Prep 70 minCook 25 min
  1. 1

    Cut the tempeh into equal slices and steam for 10 minutes to soften.

  2. 2

    Blend the garlic, cilantro, parsley, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and vegetable broth until smooth to create the chimichurri sauce.

  3. 3

    Combine half a cup of the chimichurri with soy sauce to make the marinade, reserving the rest for serving.

  4. 4

    Marinate the tempeh for an hour, flipping once to ensure even absorption.
