I heard you can make them taste like steak on the grill if you do it right...


Go.

Heck usually if I want something to taste like a steak on the grill I just buy a steak and grill it!

I haven't done this recipe but it is similar to the way I did it:

"These meaty mushrooms marinate in oil, onion, garlic and vinegar for an hour before they are tossed on a hot grill to cook to perfection. Absolutely sublime."

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Clean mushrooms and remove stems, reserve for other use. Place caps on a plate with the gills up.

Thanks, guys... Hey, rockn'.... My wife is a vegetarian, but a very non-preachy one.. That's one of the reasons I love her! She ate meat growing up, but has been meat-free for over 20 years for personal reasons.. She admits to missing steak, so I just wanted to make something nice for her, and I was told that if you cook a portabello right it tastes like steak.. But I have never done it! I passed by a package at the store and bought it with the expectation that you nuts would have a great recipe!

I really like Portabellas on the grill. They also complement a good steak.

When I was a kid in Minnesota we had a mushroom that looked like a brain that would grow on the sides of trees. I would slice them and lightly batter them with bisquick baking mix and fry them at a lower temperature so the butter wouldn't burn. They had a delicious meaty taste. I have never found any in Oklahoma.
