Ingredients

• 4 portabella mushroom caps
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 4 slices sliced red onion
• 4 cheese slices (optional)
• 0 to taste condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the mushrooms are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Place the marinated mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.

Step 6

If using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom cap during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portabella cap on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and your choice of condiments.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
