Ingredients
- 4 portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 slices sliced red onion
- 4 cheese slices (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the mushrooms are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Place the marinated mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
Step 6
If using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom cap during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt slightly.
Step 7
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portabella cap on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and your choice of condiments.
Step 9
Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
