10 Minute Skillet BBQ Tempeh

Steps

1. 1

   Remove the tempeh from packaging and cut into cubes.

2. 2

   Place in a large skillet and add about 1 cup of water, so the tempeh is about half covered. Cover and cook on high heat, steaming the tempeh for about 5 minutes until nearly all of the water has evaporated. Watch closely so it doesn't burn. Steaming the tempeh takes away any bitter flavors.

3. 3

   Once the water is nearly evaporated, turn the heat down to medium add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Fry the tempeh in the oil for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until golden.

4. 4

   Now add the entire jar of barbecue sauce and stir to coat. If the tempeh sticks to the pan, use a quality spatula to carefully scrape the pieces off the bottom.

5. 5

   Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts, rice, or in a sandwich or wrap. Enjoy!
