A quick and easy vegan portobello steak recipe featuring marinated mushrooms roasted alongside sweet, juicy tomatoes for a satisfying, plant-based meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
  3. Place the cleaned portobello mushroom caps in the marinade, turning to coat both sides thoroughly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
  4. Toss the halved cherry or grape tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes until they start to blister and release their juices.
  6. Add the marinated portobello mushrooms to the baking sheet alongside the tomatoes. Reserve any leftover marinade to brush on top.
  7. Roast everything together for an additional 15-18 minutes. Halfway through, brush the mushrooms with the reserved marinade and flip them once to ensure even caramelization.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Let the mushrooms rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Press mushrooms gently with a paper towel before marinating to remove excess moisture for better flavor absorption. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. If mushrooms seem dry during roasting, brush with olive oil. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 30 minutes or longer for deeper flavor. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to keep moist; avoid microwaving.
