PORTOBELLO STEAKS

Steps:

• Remove stems and clean the mushrooms; set aside.
• Mix vinegar, Worcestershire, oil, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Place mushrooms inside a large zip-top bag. Pour in the marinade and turn the bag so the mushrooms get evenly coated. Let sit in a refrigerator for a minimum of 5 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
• Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over high heat. Grill mushrooms in the hot pan until heated through and browned, about 4 minutes per side.

PORTOBELLO WELLINGTON WITH RED WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• Make the Wellington: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion to coat. Spread evenly in the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 12 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Spread the butternut squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and lay 5 thyme sprigs on top. Bake until the squash is tender and starting to caramelize, about 15 minutes.
• Gently pull apart the maitake mushrooms into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and gently toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with 5 thyme sprigs and 5 rosemary sprigs and bake 15 minutes. When the vegetables are cool to the touch, gently remove the herb sprigs and discard.
• Toast the hazelnuts on a separate baking sheet until fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the nuts.)
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened. Add the spinach, season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly, then gently squeeze out any liquid over the sink.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the portobello mushroom caps and sauté until they soften and release their liquid, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Gently press to remove any excess liquid.
• Chop the leaves from the remaining 2 thyme sprigs and 2 rosemary sprigs. In a medium bowl, mix the caramelized onions, butternut squash, spinach, hazelnuts, maitakes, chopped herbs and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix well with a spoon or your hands.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Unfold the puff pastry on the counter. Spread the vegetable mixture on the pastry in an even layer, leaving a 2-inch border on one short side. (You will have some of the vegetable mixture left over.) On the short side opposite the clean border, arrange the portobello caps dome-side up in a line, about 2 inches in from the edge, overlapping if necessary. Top the mushrooms with the rest of the vegetable mixture.
• Gently roll up the puff pastry tightly, starting at the side with the portobellos and pushing in any filling that falls out. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently score a crosshatch pattern into the top of the pastry with a sharp knife; brush with the vegan egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the gravy: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until they start to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Slowly add the vegetable stock and red wine, whisking constantly so that no lumps remain. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tamari and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Slice the Wellington and serve with the gravy.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN-FRIED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STEAKS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack at the top of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet, and broil until the sides facing up begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Flip, and continue to broil until the sides facing up are soft, about 5 minutes more. Let cool.
• Put the mushrooms, gill-side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to about 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet. Season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish.
• Lower the oven heat to 250 degrees F. Put a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• While the oil heats, dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture to completely coat; shake off any excess. Then dip into the egg mixture until fully coated; let the excess drip off. Return the mushroom to the flour mixture, and dredge a second time, until completely coated, pressing firmly into the flour mixture. Arrange on one side of the rack on the baking sheet.
• Add 2 of the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil, and cook, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the mushrooms to the unused side of the rack. When the oil comes back to temperature, repeat with the remaining 2 mushrooms and keep the first 2 warm in the oven.
• Serve the mushroom steaks with mashed potatoes and generous spoonfuls of hot gravy. Garnish with chives or scallions if using.
• Position an oven rack in the top position in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the onions, celery, carrots and garlic with the oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are charred in some places, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Bring the roasted vegetables, 1 cup water, mushrooms, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is gone, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until reduced by about one third, about 45 minutes. Strain the stock into a large liquid measuring cup, then squeeze all the liquid out of the solids with the back of a ladle (there should be about 4 cups of stock); discard the solids. (If not making gravy right away, let the stock cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; warm slightly before making gravy.)
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves to the butter, and stir for 30 seconds; remove the fried sage leaves, and set aside. Add the flour to the saucepan, and stir until smooth and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the warm stock while whisking constantly until smooth and thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Chop the fried sage, stir it and the parsley into the gravy and season to taste with pepper.

PUNKROCK CHICKPEA GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix the flour with 2 cups of water until the flour is mostly dissolved.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the olive oil, onions and mustard seeds; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are browned and the mustard seeds are toasted.
• Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes more.
• Add the chickpeas; use a potato masher to mash them (they don't have to be mashed into a paste, just make sure each one is broken up slightly; a few whole ones left are ok.
• Add the herbs and spices, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
• Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits of onion.
• Lower heat and pour the flour mixture into the pan.
• Stir constantly until a thick gravy forms.
• Stir in the nutritional yeast.
• If it looks too thick and pasty, add a little of the extra water and mix well. Keep warm until ready to serve.

PORTOBELLO 'STEAK' AU POIVRE

Steps:

• Brush the mushrooms all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the pepper evenly over the gill sides (about 1/2 teaspoon per mushroom). Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high, then add the mushrooms gill side up and sear until the underside is browned and the gill side looks wet, 3 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and the pepper is fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip the mushrooms so they're gill side up, then add the butter and garlic, and season with salt. While stirring the garlic to keep it from scorching, tilt the skillet to spoon up the melting butter and baste the mushrooms until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate, leaving the butter in the skillet.
• Add the shallot and stir until softened, 2 to 4 minutes, adding a little more butter if the pan is dry. Stand back, and carefully add the Cognac. (It might flame.) Stir until the Cognac has nearly evaporated. Add the heavy cream and mustard, season with salt, and stir to combine. Return the mushrooms to the pan gill side down, and cook until the cream is thickened and the color of a latte, 2 to 4 minutes. Eat the mushrooms with a drizzle of the sauce.
