Ingredients
- 4 caps Large Portobello Mushrooms
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 0.5 tsp Liquid Smoke
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth and removing the stems. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, fresh rosemary, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the portobello mushroom caps in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the grill is heated, place the marinated portobello caps on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.
Step 6
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a minute before slicing them into strips to mimic the look of short ribs.
Step 7
Serve the grilled 'beef' short ribs with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
