I was soooo shocked at this quick, yummy, and VEGAN alternative to steak. So simple to make and definitely a meal packed with lots of nutrition.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, the juice of 1 lemon, and the seasonings to taste. I added tumeric for the extra health benefits, but this is not neccesary. This mixture will serve as the marinade for the portabello steaks. Place the mushrooms into the marinade and allow them to sit for about 20-30 minutes flipping or mixing them after the first 15 minutes. If using whole portabello mushrooms, keep them top down in the marinade.
For the cooking, I simply used my George Foreman grill, but I am sure that a regular skillet or an actual grill would have worked just fine as well. I placed a couple slices on the grill (it only has one heating setting.... on or off) and allowed them to cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes. I did end up having to flip them on the grill because it did not seem as though the top gril was cooking the mushroom.

This was such a good meat alternative, that is very nutrient dense. These mushrooms are very high in fiber, high in vitamin B which is essential for ocular care (what my research is on!), and is a great source of selenium and potassium. I am by no means a doctor....or planning on becoming THAT type of doctor, but anything that tastes good and is good for your insides is fine by me. Highly recommend! 10/10
Also I am an A1 Steak Sauce fan and I added that to my mushroom steaks, but they were definitely good enough to eat on their own.
