Portobello Mushroom Steaks
Updated: Jan 20, 2020
The cravings, they are inevitable. For me it was always honey barbeque wings. Although how do you curb them when you don’t eat meat? I like to get creative, because there are so many options for meat-like recreations and they don’t always include soy or seitan. So when my husband’s one wish was to have something that reminded him of steak, I was on the hunt to find something that resembled it without meat. And to my surprise, portobello mushrooms were the prize and also a quarter of the price.
So now introducing the vegan steak, all mushroom no meat. This meal is inspired by newer vegans like my husband who have cravings, want an alternative because they don’t want to stop saving the earth. This meal is so easy to make, the only part you need to be patient about is marinating the mushroom (but trust me that is the best part). I marinate my “steak” for at least thirty minutes up to three hours. I love to pair this meal with roasted asparagus and vegan mashed potatoes. So whether it’s date night, treat yourself night or family dinner they will love this and you will too.
