Mushroom "Steaks"

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time7 minutes
Total Time12 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 4- to-6-ounce clusters of black pearl mushrooms (maitakes are a great option as well when available)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons red chile chimichurri

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron pan on medium-high heat. Add clusters of mushrooms and place a weight, such as a cast-iron press or another pan, on top. (If using large mushrooms, slice into 1/2-inch steaks or leave mushrooms whole.) Cook for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Flip mushrooms, replace weight, and cook for 2–3 minutes more. Remove the press from the mushrooms and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with chimichurri drizzled on top.
