How do you cook a mushroom to taste like a steak?

Question

and is it the portabellow mushroom that you can cook like steak? thanks:)

Answer 1

It is the portabella[o]
The thick slices or just the entire cap.

Some people grill. The "flavor" of the charcoal is reminiscent to the senses of meat.

The standard recipe calls for butter and Worcestershire in a saute pan and med high heat for sufficient time to absorb the liquid.
Some marinade in the W first.

I've added "Kitchen Bouquet" or "Gravy Master",both types of sauce/gravy flavor boosters that will in this case help mimic the flavor of browned beef. [found near the marinades and sauces in the grocery]

What really results is a firm textured shroom that has seasoning usually associated with beef.
They taste fairly nice, but steak-like is a stretch.

Google PM's for specific/variations of the above.

I see that nobody is really answering your question. First, congratulations on taking the initiative to cook a meal yourself. You have some options here. Instead of frying the steak in oil, you could just add about 1/2 c of red wine to a pan, add the steak, cover and after about 5 mins or so (depending on how well you like your steak) flip, and cook other side. After you flip it once, you can add the onions and mushrooms, and put the cover back on. Or Cook the mushrooms and onion in the olive oil for about 4-5 mins. Remove from the pan. Add wine and sautee the steak with the cover. It is totally up to you as to use butter or olive oil, but the butter will taste better and give the steak a richer flavor. You can experiment a little and do it differently every time you make a steak, but whichever way you choose, it will be fine, and you're not likely to completly f* it up.

Answer 3

I think you may have been a bit deluded somewhere. You can prepare it and it will be highly enjoyable. But it won't taste like steak no. I had a fried triple mushroom steak in NYC this summer at a vegi place. Very tasty but it does taste like a mushroom, because, well, it is a mushroom.

Answer 4

Portobello mushrooms can be marinated and grilled like meat.. cooking time will be different however... just follow any grilled steak marinating and cooking recipe

It will not however, taste even close to a real top quality steak but will suffice

Answer 5

It is the Portobello mushroom that you can COOK like a steak, but it doesn't taste like a steak.

I charcoal grill them and brush with a mixture of extra virgin rosemary infused olive oil and garlic. Salt and pepper to taste.

Answer 6

Well I love the taste of portabella mushrooms but I don't think it taste like steak.
The latest way I cooked mine is
I put mushroom stem side up, trim stem
Put some soyvay terriaki (sp?) sauce on it
and top it with vegan mozzerella cheese
then put it into the oven at about 350 for about 10-15 mins

Answer 7

You can't. You can marinate a portobello mushroom cap in staek marinade and grill it to get a charbroiled flavor and it will have a very "meaty" flavor and texture, but it will not taste like a steak. If you want something that tastes like steak you're gonna have to eat a steak.
Gotta love the guy who said cook it in BEEF BROTH and it will be good for vegans! LMAO!!

Answer 8

I would get the largest portabello mushroom, cut off the stem, sprinkle some garlic salt, and saute the whole mushroom in butter

Answer 9

it is the portabello and it's thickness and consistency is as close to steak as u can get. You can grill or pan fry in a bit of iol. Salt, and cajun seasoning gives it a kick and onions green peppers and garlic sauteed with it is nice. Top with swiss cheese and serve.

Answer 10

Red wine and saute.
