Portobello Steak
Portobello steak is a great vegan alternative if you’re craving something like meat. This recipe is 100% plant-based. You can eat it like steak or put it in a bun and enjoy it like a burger patty. It’s very versatile and bursting with flavor.
What you’ll need is the following ingredients:
- Portobello Mushrooms
- Olive Oil
- Braggs Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce
- Steak Sauce or BBQ Sauce
- Steak Rub Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Black Pepper
- Lemon Juice
What I do first is cut the stem of the portobello mushroom so that it is just flat. I rubbed the mushrooms with a little bit of oil and sprinkled both sides of the mushrooms with the seasoning.
I then take a container or ziplock freezer bag and add the Braggs liquid aminos or soy sauce, steak sauce and lemon juice. I mix it all together and then add the portobello steaks in there to help it marinate. I let it sit in there for at least 5 minutes while I heat up a pan or skillet with oil.
Then when the skillet or pan is heated on medium-high heat, cook the Portobello Steak for 5 minutes on each side. Turn the heat down if needed, especially for the second steak to not burn it.
Put the oven on broil, brush more steak or bbq sauce onto the mushrooms and place in the oven for 10 minutes (flipping over halfway through.)
If you have leftover marinade or steak sauce, drizzle it on top of the steak and serve. As shown in the photo, I served it with a cauliflower puree.

- 1 tsp steak rub seasoning

- Turn the oven on broil. Brush mushrooms with more steak or bbq sauce. Place in oven for 10 minutes (flip halfway through). The broiling part is optional, but helps to create a more meat-like texture.
