Instructions
0 Prep: Remove the tempeh from the packaging and cut each block into thick strips about ¾” wide. Add the water and BBQ sauce to a large jar or measuring cup and whisk until combined; set aside. 1 Sear: Add the oil to a medium cast iron, stainless steel, or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh evenly across the base of the pan. Sear the tempeh on one side for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden. Flip the tempeh and sear for another 3 to 5 minutes. 2 Simmer: Add the BBQ sauce mixture to the pan and turn the heat to high. Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium and cook the tempeh for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping it every 2 to 3 minutes to cook it evenly. The sauce will start to thicken as the water evaporates from the pan. 3 Serve: Serve warm over grain bowls, sandwiches, salads, or as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.View original recipe
