CW: dairy and other potential animal products

I didn't have prepackaged smoked tofu so I made a marinade with a little rice vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil and liquid smoke and let the extra firm tofu marinate in the fridge while I went for a jog (about 45 minutes).

Next I heated up a cast iron skillet, added some butter (I didn't have vegan on hand today) and when that was nice and hot, I added thin slices of my marinated tofu and let it do it's thing. I sprinkled some montreal steak seasoning on top while it was cooking. Then I thinly sliced some red onion and toasted a couple of burger buns and slathered on some mayo. Once the tofu was done (this was a pure guess as I eyeballed literally everything about this) I scooped it onto the buns and topped with the onions. The video has cooked onions too but I only used raw and it was so fucking good.

The result was so amazing and honestly incredibly easy and cheap. It tasted deli quality and took all of 15 minutes of prep and cooking for about 2 large / 4 normal portions for what was maybe $4 in ingredients.
