Ingredients

• 4 pieces Portobello mushrooms (large)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired for a cleaner presentation.

Step 2

Brush both sides of the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet.

Step 4

Place the portobello mushrooms in the skillet cap-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their juices and start to brown.

Step 5

Flip the mushrooms cap-side up. Add the butter to the skillet, along with the minced garlic and sprigs of thyme.

Step 6

Spoon the melted garlic-herb butter over the mushrooms regularly while cooking for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms absorb the flavors and become tender.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar into the skillet and swirl to combine with the butter. Cook for an additional 2 minutes while continuously basting.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the mushroom steaks hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
