Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushrooms (large)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired for a cleaner presentation.
Brush both sides of the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet.
Place the portobello mushrooms in the skillet cap-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their juices and start to brown.
Flip the mushrooms cap-side up. Add the butter to the skillet, along with the minced garlic and sprigs of thyme.
Spoon the melted garlic-herb butter over the mushrooms regularly while cooking for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms absorb the flavors and become tender.
Drizzle the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar into the skillet and swirl to combine with the butter. Cook for an additional 2 minutes while continuously basting.
Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the mushroom steaks hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
