Instructions: 1. Cut the tempeh into 3 equal pieces crosswise. Cut each pieces in half horizontally to create a total of 6 thin slabs.

2. Spoon the remaining ingredients into a 1-quart zip-loc bag or lidded container. Mix well. Add the tempeh, seal, and shake gently to coat the pieces. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate overnight, shaking gently from time to time.

3. Gently transfer the tempeh to a large nonstick skillet. Set over high heat until the tempeh sizzles. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the tempeh over, cover, and cook an additional 3 minutes.

Uncover and saute over medium-high heat, flipping the tempeh as needed, until the slabs are browned and crusty on both sides.

Serves 2 or 3.
