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!
