Ingredients

• 4 pieces Portabella mushrooms (large, cleaned and stems removed)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
• 0.5 medium Red onion (sliced)
• 4 pieces Cheese slices (optional)
• 4 servings Condiments (like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the portabella mushrooms in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the mushrooms are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have grill marks. If using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 5

While the mushrooms are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until warm and slightly golden.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Follow with a grilled portabella mushroom, a slice of tomato, red onion, and your choice of condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Marinated Portabella Mushroom Burgers!
