These savoury grilled king oyster mushroom steaks have a nice ‘meaty’ bite and make the perfect vegan alternative to meat during barbecues. They are also delicious when pan-fried.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 king oyster mushrooms (eryngii)
- Sesame seeds
Marinade
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2.5-cm piece of ginger
- 1 fresh chilli
- Juice of half a lime
PREPARATION
Finely chop the garlic cloves, piece of ginger and fresh chilli. Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl. Cut each king oyster mushroom lengthways into three slices, then add them to the marinade. Coat them evenly, then let them rest for approximately 15 minutes in the fridge.
Cooking
Option 1: Barbecue/grill
Preheat the barbecue/grill to a medium heat. Add the mushroom slices and cook them for around 5 minutes on each side. Grill them in batches if necessary. The mushrooms should be golden on both sides with slightly crispy edges and char marks.
Option 2: Pan-fry
Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan on medium heat and add the mushroom slices, without overlapping them. Pan-fry them in batches if necessary. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on either side, or until both sides are golden with slightly crispy edges. Transfer them to a plate and repeat these steps with the remaining mushrooms.
Serving suggestion
Garnish the king oyster mushroom steaks with sesame seeds and serve them with a salad.
