Grilled Marinated Tempeh Steak with Avocado, Radicchio, Orange Dressing, and TahiniLara Ferroni

Editor's note: This recipe is part of a healthy and delicious spa menu developed exclusively for Epicurious by Chris Miller, executive chef at Como Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri in Bali.

This zesty dish proves that grilling isn't just for carnivores. Tempeh, a fermented soybean cake with a nutty flavor and firm, almost meatlike texture, can be found in many grocery stores, health food stores, and Asian markets. We like Lightlife brand.

Note that orange oil can be quite strong, so be sure not to use more than the amount called for in the recipe.
