Juicy, aromatic oyster mushroom steak for the grill or the oven. Deliciously marinated, they are the perfect vegan alternative for those who like it hearty and healthy.
Oyster mushrooms do not need to be cleaned unless there is soil residue on the mushrooms. Cut the style a little, if there are still remnants of soil and straw.
Heat a frying pan, add olive oil.
15-30 ml Olive oil
Place oyster mushroom clusters in pan and place another pan on top. If the pan is not very heavy, put another pot in the pan to put extra weight on it (see video!).
500 g large oyster mushroom clusters
After 2-3 minutes, remove pan and season with BBQ seasoning, salt and pepper. Turn mushroom over once and season the second side. Place pan (and/or pot) on top and pan fry for another 5 minutes. Remove pan again, turn it over and let it sizzle for another 5 minutes.
2-3 tbspn Barbecue spice of choice, 1 tbspn Garlic granules, ½ tbspn Salt, Pepper to taste
TIP: Don't be afraid of heat, the mushrooms can be sautéed really hot.
In the meantime, mix the marinade by putting BBQ sauce and dark beer in a bowl and whisking well.
250 ml dark beer, 125 ml Barbecue sauce
Remove mushrooms from pan and place in a baking dish. Pour marinade over them until the mushrooms are well covered with it.
Either grill immediately, or marinate for another 4 hours or overnight.
Just before grilling, remove from refrigerator and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side. Enjoy with additional sauce and side dishes of your choice.
ALTERNATIVE: Heat oven to 200 degrees convection or broil setting. Place the marinated steaks with some extra sauce on a baking sheet (with baking paper or shallow baking dish) and bake for 20 minutes.
