Grillable Juicy Portobello Mushroom Burgers
Description
This recipe centers on marinating whole portobello mushroom caps to infuse them with flavor. The marinade combines olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. The mushrooms are brushed thoroughly with this mixture on both sides before cooking.
They are then cooked over medium-high heat on the stovetop or grilled until tender with some char marks. Cheese slices are added near the end to melt over the caps. The mushrooms maintain a juicy, slightly meaty texture enhanced by the marinade and smoky paprika seasoning.
The burgers are assembled on toasted sandwich buns and served with traditional toppings such as tomato, lettuce, and red onion. A homemade “fancy sauce” made of mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, and smoked paprika adds creaminess with a smoky garlic kick that complements the mushrooms.
These Portobello burgers work well as a satisfying meatless burger alternative that still delivers juicy, robust flavors and a variety of textures from the toppings and sauce.
Ingredients
Portobello Mushroom Burgers
- 8 large portobello mushrooms
- ¼ cup olive oil 60 mL
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 4 lices cheddar cheese sharp
- burger bun sliced; to serve

Fancy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise 30 g
- 2 Tbsp ketchup 30 g
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅛ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prep Mushrooms: Clean mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel. Remove stems (and gills, if you don't like the texture). In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings. Brush liberally onto the tops and bottoms of the mushrooms.
- Cook Burgers: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until slightly softened, brushing with remaining marinade to add more flavor. Alternatively, cook on the grill for 5 minutes per side until grill lines appear. Add cheese in the last minute of cooking.
- Serve: Combine all Fancy Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve mushroom burgers on toasted buns with fancy sauce, tomatoes, lettuce, and onion.
Notes
- Portobello mushroom gills are edible but can turn slightly mushy when cooked; you may remove them if you prefer a firmer texture.
