Heat oil in skillet on medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir grated tempeh into onion mixture; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour vegetable broth over the tempeh mixture and reduce heat to low; season with taco seasoning, oregano, and ground red pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, Himalayan salt, and pinch black pepper in a large bowl.
Fill a saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Cut tempeh in half; add to the boiling water. Boil tempeh to remove any bitter taste, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; cool slightly.
Cut tempeh into 1/4-inch slices; add to vegetable broth marinade and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight, stirring occasionally, making sure tempeh is covered with marinade.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove tempeh from marinade, letting excess drip off; place on the prepared baking sheet. Discard remaining marinade.
