Portobello Mushroom Steaks
Description
Portobello Mushroom Steaks provide a meat-like texture and savory flavor through a marinade combining soy sauce, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, and optional liquid smoke. The mushrooms are brushed with this mixture and left to soak up the seasonings. Grilling on a hot griddle or using a grill pan creates a slight char that adds depth, while baking offers a softer, juicy result. The cooking juices carry concentrated mushroom essence that can be poured over the finished steaks.
The steak-like mushrooms pair well with starchy sides like fries or mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. The recipe's flexibility allows for different cooking methods based on available equipment.
If liquid smoke is unavailable, the dish remains flavorful without it. Nutritional content varies with brands and cooking methods. The marinade not only seasons but also tenderizes, making these mushrooms suitable for a vegetarian entree or supplement to other dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 portobello mushrooms (any large flat mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon liquid smoke optional
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms.
- Add the oil and all seasonings to a large dish and mix. Brush it over the mushrooms, then leave the mushrooms in the remaining liquid to marinade.
- Heat a griddle pan or clamp grill (like a George Foreman grill). Place the mushroom steaks onto the hot grill and cook until soft and lightly charred. If possible, save the mushroom cooking juices.
- Alternatively heat a grill/grill pan/bbq/broiler and cook as above. Or, heat the oven to 200c/400f and bake on a tray for 25 minutes or until soft and juicy.
- Serve with fries or mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli or other veg with the cooking juices poured over the mushrooms.
Notes
- Liquid smoke is optional but adds smoky flavor if available.
- Cooking juices can be saved and served over the mushrooms for added taste.
- Nutritional values depend on ingredient brands and cooking method.
