Ingredients

• 4 pcs Portabella mushroom caps
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 pcs Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pcs Burger buns
• 4 pcs Lettuce leaves
• 8 pcs Tomato slices
• 4 pcs Red onion slices
• 4 pcs Cheese slices (optional)
• 0 to taste Condiments of choice (e.g., mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard)

Directions

Step 1

Gently clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during cooking.

Step 6

Grill the mushroom caps for about 5–7 minutes per side, brushing them with the reserved marinade occasionally. The mushrooms should be tender and have visible grill marks.

Step 7

If you're using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom cap during the last 1–2 minutes of grilling to allow it to melt.

Step 8

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled mushroom on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and any condiments you like. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious portabella mushroom burgers!
