Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Steaks

  • 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the mushrooms: Place the cleaned Portobello mushrooms in a shallow dish and brush both sides generously with the marinade. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) to ensure a good sear without drying out the mushrooms.
  4. Grill the mushrooms: Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill side down first. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until tender, juicy, and nicely charred with grill marks.
  5. Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. These steaks pair well with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or on a toasted bun as a vegetarian burger alternative.

Notes

  • You can customize the spice blend by adding cumin or chili flakes for a smoky kick.
  • Make sure not to overcook the mushrooms to maintain a juicy texture.
  • For indoor cooking, grill mushrooms on a grill pan or in a hot skillet with similar timing.
  • Leftover grilled mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
