Grilled Portobello Mushrooms - Healing Tomato Recipes (2024)

45-minute Easy Grilled Portobello Mushrooms are steeped in a delicious balsamic marinade. Grill them on a stove-top grill or outdoor grill. Those eye-catching grill marks make them a great substitute for a burger bun.

I loved grilling these beauties! These marinated mushrooms have a delicious umami flavor.

Grill them on a grill pan, outdoor or electric grill, or in the oven using an oven-safe grill. Let me know which cooking method you used.

It only took me 15 minutes of work. The other 30 minutes were for marinating it. It’s an easy recipe that can be made any time of year, not just during grilling season.

The marinade ingredients

• Fresh garlic cloves (garlic powder, if you don’t have fresh)
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Low-sodium soy sauce or Coconut Aminos
• Agave / maple syrup
• Nutritional yeast
• Sea salt
• Red pepper flakes or black pepper
• Optional ingredients – Liquid smoke, lemon juice, fresh herbs, diced red onion.

Marinating time is 30 minutes. As you can see, the marinade needs simple ingredients. What unique ingredient have you used in grilling?

I cleaned the large portobello mushrooms and then steeped them in a tasty marinade of balsamic vinegar!

The marinade ingredients, not surprisingly, include extra garlic! I just have to have extra garlic in all recipes and I know how much you all love seeing garlic in the recipes.

My homemade pizza sauce recipe and broccoli and potato recipes have a healthy dose of garlic. Garlic makes everything taste better!

How to use them

This portobello mushrooms have such an earthy flavor that they taste great by itself. They are low carb, and their meaty flavor makes them very satiating.

They can also be a part of a main course meal. Chop it up and mix it with rice. Or, cut them into strips and put them into tacos along with your favorite toppings!

The nice thing about them is that they would also be a delicious topping on pizza.

Once, I used them as burger buns, and boy, were they a huge hit! I am so impressed by how they hold the burger patties. The slippery toppings like tomatoes and onions also stayed in place.

Even the ketchup didn’t squirt out! Their meaty texture makes them so dense that the ingredients remain packed in place.

So, I highly recommend a grilled portobello mushroom burger as a buns substitute. The best meals always include a “meaty” mushroom!

How to make grilled portobello mushroom steaks

• Prep mushrooms by, removing the stem from the mushrooms and scooping out the gills of the mushrooms with a spoon. Use a damp paper towel to wipe the mushroom caps, then set them aside.
• In a small bowl, add the ingredients, except the mushrooms, and mix well.
• In a shallow dish or large bowl, place the portobello caps face up. (Every mushrooms gill side is considered face down).
• Drizzle the marinade over it and cover with plastic wrap.
• Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, heat a grill until it is hot. Use medium-high heat, if using stove-top grill.
• An easy way to grill them is to skewer 2 mushrooms per skewer. I used (Affiliate Link) 10″ stainless steel skewers and placed the mushrooms parallel to the grill grates.
• Place on hot grill, face down.
• Grill the mushrooms on each side for 2 minutes or until browned. Your cooking time will vary depending on the grilling method you use.
• Use up all the remaining marinade to baste and drizzle over the grilling mushroom.
• Remove and serve.

That’s all you need to do to make these grilled mushrooms. So, what is your favorite portobello mushrooms recipe?
