Lion’s Mane Steak Recipe
Ingredients:
1 large Lion's Mane mushroom (cut into thick steaks)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp mushroom seasoning (or a blend of dried thyme, oregano, and a pinch of salt)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, mushroom seasoning, and black pepper.
Marinate the Mushrooms: Place the Lion's Mane mushroom steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.
Heat the Skillet: Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil to coat the bottom.
Cook the Lion’s Mane Steaks: Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated mushroom steaks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside.
Serve: Remove the steaks from the skillet and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your savory Lion’s Mane mushroom steak!
