Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steaks
Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish
For the vegetarian invited to your meat barbecue, this is a great and satisfying “steak” alternative. It also makes an excellent side dish for any dinner. The dish can also be baked in the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 10 portobello mushrooms, stems removed, wiped free of dirt
- 6 to 8 sprigs of fresh herb such as sage or oregano
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS
- In a baking dish large enough to hold the mushrooms in a single layer, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Lay in mushrooms, top down, and scatter half the fresh herbs on top. Marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Prepare an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan. Remove mushrooms from marinade. Grill mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill to a platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over mushrooms, and scatter on the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve hot or at room temperature.
