Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove the stems, and if desired, scrape out the gills with a spoon for a cleaner presentation and milder flavor.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 20–30 minutes at room temperature, flipping occasionally to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the mushrooms gill-side down on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
Step 6
Remove from the grill and serve immediately as a standalone dish, in a salad, or as a burger substitute.
