Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the Portobello mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth. Remove the stems to create a flat surface for grilling.
- Make the marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to blend all flavors.
- Marinate mushrooms: Brush both sides of each mushroom generously with the marinade. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-205°C), ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the mushrooms: Place the mushrooms on the grill, gill side down first. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side until they become tender and juicy with visible grill marks.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then serve as vegetarian steaks with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the marinade.
- You can also cook these mushrooms on a stovetop grill pan if an outdoor grill is not available.
- To keep mushrooms juicy, avoid overcooking which can make them dry.
- These steaks pair well with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
- Portobello mushrooms are a great source of umami flavor and work well as a meat substitute for vegetarian diets.
