Steaming the tempeh first helps it stay moist and absorb this flavorful marinade. Any leftovers can be added to salads, sandwiches and vegetable dishes.

Ingredients
Method
Arrange a steamer basket in a large pot and fill with 1 inch of water; bring to a boil.
Arrange tempeh in steamer basket, reduce heat to medium low, cover and steam for 10 minutes.
Transfer tempeh to a large plate and set aside.
When cool enough to handle, cut each piece in half horizontally through the middle. (Thinner pieces will absorb the marinade better.)
In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together tamari, maple syrup, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes.
Arrange tempeh in dish in a single layer, turn to coat all over with marinade, cover and chill, flipping halfway through, for 2 hours.
Remove tempeh from marinade and very lightly spray with oil.
Heat a large, well seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium high heat or preheat a grill to medium high heat.
Cook tempeh, flipping once and brushing with any remaining marinade, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
