Teriyaki Lion's Mane Mushroom Steaks

Ingredients

• 8.8 oz fresh lion’s mane mushrooms
• Neutral oil (for spraying or brushing)
• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3-4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• Sesame seeds
• Sautéed bell pepper ( or other vegetables of choice)

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean your lion’s mane mushrooms. I simply clean mine my wiping using a paper or kitchen towel.

2. 2

   You can also quickly rinse the mushrooms and pat dry with a towel. Don’t submerge the mushrooms in water since they quickly absorb liquids.

3. 3

   Heat a medium sized skillet or cast iron pan over medium high heat. Once hot, place the lions mane mushrooms and place a smaller heavy skillet or any weighted surface on top to help compress and flatten the mushrooms.

4. 4

   Leave the mushrooms to sear over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Flip over and repeat for the remaining side.

5. 5

   When both sides of the mushrooms have a good sear, add the vegan butter. Once the butter has melted. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the teriyaki sauce and scoop over the mushrooms to coat well. The sauce will thicken to a glaze from the sugars.

7. 7

   Once the sauce has reduced, feel free to taste the mushrooms and add more teriyaki sauce to taste, if needed.

8. 8

   Turn off the heat. Serve with a side of sautéed bell peppers or vegetables. You can also enjoy this with rice or noodles, or enjoy with a salad or in a wrap.
