Lion's Mane 'Steak'

INGREDIENTS

1lb Lion’s Mane mushrooms

2 tbsp canola oil or alternative

2 tbsp BBQ seasoning

1 1/2 tsp onion powder 

1 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning 

Salt and pepper

3 Tbsp butter or vegan alternative

4 Tbsp BBQ sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC) convection or 420ºF without. Trim mushroom bottoms flat.

2. Heat an ovenproof skillet with oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms flat-side down, cook 1–2 min. Place a second skillet on top, pressing as they release water. Sear 5–6 min until browned.

3. Flip, add oil, and press until mushrooms shrink to ¾-inch, about 5 min. Season with BBQ seasoning, onion powder, poultry seasoning, salt & pepper. Flip and sear both sides until charred.

4. Bake 10 min. Remove mushrooms; heat pan over medium, stirring in butter and BBQ sauce to deglaze.

5. Spoon sauce onto plates, slice mushrooms, and fan over sauce. 

Garnish with thyme or parsley. Enjoy!
