Why This Recipe for Broiled Portobello Mushrooms Works

  • Quick preparation time. Most local grocery stores sell the mushroom caps already prepared for cooking. All you have to do is wash them, prepare the marinade, and broil. Preparation done in under 5 minutes.
  • Easy to make. With only 4 ingredients baking portobello mushrooms doesn't get much easier to make than this.
  • Full of flavor. The main flavors of this dish come from the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce marinade. These are among the most flavorful of ingredients that can be used and combining them gives these mushrooms a flavor explosion.
  • Healthy substitute for meat. This recipe uses a ⅛ cup of olive oil in the marinade and no other added fat. Mushrooms are often used as a healthy substitute for meat since they have a similar texture. The mushrooms also work well with a lot of the same marinades and seasonings that are used on roasted or grilled meat dishes.
  • Mushrooms are non-dairy. Since mushrooms are naturally pareve and non-dairy, you can top them with cheese. This is a favorite in our house.

A Step by step guide to making Broiled Portobello Mushrooms

Time needed: 15 minutes.

The best Quick and Easy Broiled Portobello Mushroom Caps.

  1. Wash the mushrooms.

    Don't skip this step. Mushrooms are usually covered with dirt when you get them. Always wash the mushrooms before cooking with them.washed portobello mushroom caps

  2. Mix the marinade.

    Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, and water together in a bowl. Whisk until the oil is completely combined with the other ingredients.mix the marinade

  3. Marinate the mushrooms. (Optional if you are in a hurry).

    Put the mushroom caps into a resealable air tight plastic bag and pour the marinade inside. Gently press out the excess air and seal. Make sure that the mushrooms are laying flat and not on top of each other. Let them sit for at least an hour. If you are in a hurry, you can skip this step and just pour the marinade over the mushrooms and stick them right into the oven. They will still taste amazing.marinate the mushrooms

  4. Prepare the for broiling.

    Put the mushrooms into a baking dish bottom side up and pour the marinade out over them. Do this whether you skipped the marination step or not.pour the marinade on the mushrooms

  5. Broil.

    Place the mushrooms under a broiler for 5 minutes. This can vary slightly depending on your broiler so just watch out that the mushrooms don't burn. Flip them over so that the rounded side is up and broil for another 5 minutes. This is what they should look like when they are done.broiled mushrooms

Roasted Portobello Mushroom Recipe FAQ

How do I know when the mushrooms are done?

The mushrooms will be fork tender and have dark golden brown color on the surface. It is also normal to see a little bit of charring on the top. You are not going for medium rare here, medium well is best for portobello mushroom caps.

Does broiling the mushrooms leave a caked on mess?

Some broiler recipes leave a huge caked on mess but this one doesn't. The water in the marinade helps give it enough volume that the marinade does not completely dry our during broiling. Drying out is what usually causes the mess.

How can I store the mushroom caps?

Broiled Portobello Mushroom Caps store very well in the refrigerator. Seal them up in an airtight plastic bag and they will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator. We are not working with raw meat here so you can even place them back into the bag that you used to marinate them.
