Ingredients
1 large lion’s mane mushroom, cleaned and dried
3–4 teaspoons steak seasoning, to taste
Olive oil, for brushing or spraying
Optional: thin slices of salted butter or vegan butter
Instructions
- Slice the mushroom: Place the mushroom stem-side down on a cutting board. Slice in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 1.5-inch thick “steaks.” You should get 3–6 pieces depending on size.
- Oil and season: Lightly brush or spray olive oil on each steak. Sprinkle with steak seasoning evenly.
- Cook first side: Preheat skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan and place steaks seasoning-side down. Cover and cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges soften and the bottom browns.
- Flip and cook: Remove lid, oil and season the second side, and flip the steaks. Cook uncovered for another 2–3 minutes. Blot excess liquid if necessary with a paper towel using tongs.
- Optional finishing touch: Add a thin slice of butter or vegan butter on top of each steak and let it melt. Serve hot.
