Ingredients
For the BBQ tempeh steak:
• 200 g plain chickpea tempeh, cut into thick slices
• 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (smoky)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1⁄2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• Salt and pepper
For the potato salad:
• 500 g waxy potatoes
• 1⁄2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 handful cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small cucumber, diced
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
Optional: Green onions or radishes for extra freshness
Preparation
- Marinate the tempeh: Mix together the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, mustard, paprika, vinegar, and oil. Marinate the tempeh in this mixture for at least 20–30 minutes (or longer for a more intense flavor).
- Cook the potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 15–20 minutes, let them cool, peel them, and slice them.
- Prepare the potato salad: Add the onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley to the potatoes. Mix the vinegar, oil, and mustard, fold into the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill or pan-fry the tempeh: Grill the tempeh steaks or pan-fry them in neutral oil over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes per side until nicely caramelized. Brush with marinade occasionally while cooking.
- Serving: Arrange the tempeh steaks with the potato salad and top with a few fresh scallions or radishes, if desired.
Tip: For an extra BBQ vibe, a dollop of coleslaw or a fresh yogurt dip pairs perfectly with this dish.
