Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for herbed butter)
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (for herbed butter)
Instructions
Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems carefully.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the portobello mushrooms, allowing them to soak in the flavors for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the herbed butter by combining softened unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated portobello mushrooms on the hot grill, gill side up. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop char marks and become tender.
Once grilled, remove the mushrooms from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes.
To serve, place a grilled portobello steak on a plate and top each with a generous dollop of the herbed butter.
Allow the butter to melt slightly over the warm mushrooms before serving. Enjoy your vegetarian grilled portobello steaks with a side of your choice.
