This marinated, grilled portobello mushroom steak can sub for meat without missing a beat—and it's ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke and garlic. Brush over both sides of mushroom caps; let stand for 15 minutes, turning once. Drain and reserve marinade.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Sprinkle both sides of mushroom caps with salt and pepper. Grill mushrooms, covered, over medium heat until tender, 6-8 minutes, basting with reserved marinade as they cook.
