Ingredients

• 4 pieces Portabella mushrooms (large caps)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the mushrooms to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the gravy.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the vegan butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, a little at a time, to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Stir in nutritional yeast and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and keep the gravy warm while cooking the mushrooms.

Step 7

Heat another large skillet (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Place the marinated mushrooms cap-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked mushrooms onto individual plates. Generously spoon the warm gravy over each mushroom steak.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
