My new favorite way to serve tempeh

Instructions

1. Cut the tempeh crosswise into ½-inch strips, then slice each strip in half lengthwise to make thinner pieces.
2. Optional: steam the tempeh in a steamer basket over a few inches of boiling water, covered, for 10 minutes.
3. Line a cutting board or plate with paper towels.
4. Heat a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat with 1 ½ tablespoons of the oil. When the oil shimmers (a few minutes), lay the tempeh slices in a single layer and cook 3 ½ to 4 ½ minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
5. Brush the top of each piece with the remaining oil (or spray with cooking spray), flip, and cook 2 ½ to 4 more minutes, until seared on the other side. Move to the paper towels.
6. Turn off the heat and let the pan cool for a few minutes.
7. Return the pan to medium-low heat and add the BBQ sauce. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring with a silicone spatula, until gently simmering; lower the heat if it bubbles rapidly.
8. Add the tempeh back to the pan and coat it in the sauce for a minute or two, until very saucy.
