Things are heating up over here at Sweet Simple Vegan! It’s date night and we are coming at you with some juicy meals to get you and your loved one feeling right. For our main course, we are serving up some succulent portobello mushroom steaks. They’re tender, juicy, and bursting with meaty flavor, in the most vegan way possible.

This recipe is simple and will be ready in less than an hour! All you have to do is mix together the marinade ingredients, allow the mushrooms to soak in it for 30 minutes, and then pop the mushrooms onto a grill and cook them to perfection. Voila, you’ve got yourself some delicious portobello mushroom steaks.

We paired our portobello steaks with a side of grilled asparagus and our fall vegetable rice pilaf. This also goes well with mashed potatoes! We recommend using the mushroom marinade for the asparagus, it complements the flavor perfectly. We hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

For dessert, we are making a delicious no-bake pumpkin chai cheesecake. You can find the recipe here!

Description

Tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth good vegan portobello mushroom steaks. This is an easy vegan and gluten-free entree that is perfect for holiday dinners or date nights at home. The recipe is simple and will be ready in less than an hour!

---

Ingredients

• 6 large portobello mushrooms
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce if not gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce (We used Edward & Son’s)
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/2–1 teaspoon black pepper (depending on how pepper-y you would like it)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed and finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

---

Instructions

1. De-stem each portobello mushroom, leaving just the caps. Discard, compost or save the stems for homemade vegetable broth. Set mushroom caps aside.
2. In a large-sized wide and shallow dish, combine all of the ingredients except for the mushrooms. Whisk together until fully combined.
3. Add in the portobello mushroom caps to the marinade and flip them back and forth a few times for fully coat both sides. If needed, use a spoon to pour the marinade over the mushrooms. Allow the mushrooms to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, the longer the better!
4. Once the mushrooms have marinated, heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warmed, add the portobello mushrooms along with any remaining marinade* and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and a deep golden brown. Gently flip the mushrooms as they will be fragile!
5. Serve warm with sides of choice. This goes well with mashed potatoes or our fall rice pilaf!

Notes

• We grilled asparagus to serve alongside our portobello mushroom steaks. Instead of pouring the remaining marinade in with the mushrooms, we saved it and used it to marinate the asparagus. It turned out delicious and is highly recommended!
