Lion's Mane Mushroom Steaks
YIELD Serves 2
TIME 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
olive oil
1 tbsp. paprika
1/2 tbsp. cumin
1/2 tbsp. salt
1/2 tbsp. pepper
1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tbsp. onion powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the dry rub ingredients together, and set aside.
Slice Lion’s Mane lengthwise, into steaks/slabs.
Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F.
Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and bring to temperature.
Place the Lion’s Mane in the pan in a single layer. Let them sit in the pan for 90 seconds, then add a heavy press on top of the mushrooms (we use the bottom of another pan.)
Cook for another 30 seconds, then gently press some of the moisture out of the mushrooms. Flip the mushrooms, and let them brown for 6 minutes. Sprinkle dry rub over the mushrooms, and sear each side.
When the mushrooms are browned, take the entire skillet and place it in the oven for 12 minutes.
Allow the mushrooms to rest for a minute or two, then serve with garnishes and sides of your choice!
