Written by Lindsay Nixon

An ode to my love of balsamic vinegar... These mushrooms are incredibly flavorful and so easy to whip up! Enjoy them as a main dish alongside veggies or stick the mushrooms on a bun with tomato for one delicious and savory "burger."

Portobello Steaks Recipe

Servings: 2

Description:

The perfect vegan substitute for steak.. or just a fine recipe for portobello mushrooms! So juicy... and delicious! These babies are also good on the grill!

Ingredients:

2 whole portobello mushrooms
½ whole small onion, diced
1 whole garlic cloves, minced
1 cup mock beef broth
3 tbsp basalmic vinegar
1 tbsp mirin or sherry
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp chives (optional)
½ tsp basil

Instructions:

Line a large frying pan with a thin layer of broth. Remove stems from mushroom and set aside. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes over high heat. Add remaining ingredients, except for the mushrooms, and turn to medium. Add mushrooms, cover and cook for five minutes. Gently flip mushrooms over and cook for 5 minutes more, adding more broth as needed to prevent sticking or burning. Plate mushrooms and spoon leftover juices on top.

Chef's Note: Water may be substituted for the broth.
