Mouth Watering Mushroom Steaks

This recipe serves two people.

Ingredients

• 2 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and dry brushed clean

MARINADE

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tablespoons avocado oil or preferred oil

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp tomato paste

• 1 large garlic clove, minced or crushed

• ½ teaspoon granulated onion

• salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

• In a large and shallow baking dish, whisk all the marinade ingredients together. Taste and add more seasoning if desired (note: the flavors will be concentrated).

• Add the mushrooms to the dish and liberally brush the marinade on all sides. You can also spoon it on. Let it sit for 10-20 minutes, flipping and brushing again midway through the marinating time.

• Heat a Grill, Grill Pan OR Skillet over medium-high heat. When fully heated, brush with oil and place the mushrooms on top (they should sizzle when they hit the pan). Don't move them once they are in the pan, just gently press down with a spatula or tongs. Give them a minimum of 4-5 minutes so they sear.

• Flip over and sear the other side, adding more oil if needed (you can also brush on more marinade).

• Grill until browned and tender, about 4-5 minutes.

You can use this same marinade on any mushrooms so save it and play around.

Enjoy!
