Grilled Portobello Mushrooms (or Flank Steak) with Feta Salsa

August 10, 2019

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with feta salsa

Grilled Flank Steak with Feta Salsa is a dish that Charles has made for our family since we met (mostly my dad… he knew how to win him over from the start) – and has coveted the recipe until now!  I created a Portobello Mushroom version here to provide a vegetarian rendition that I absolutely love!

We recently threw a birthday party for our super awesome friend Aaron and I knew I wanted to make something that was easy to make ahead but still impressive. We marinated the mushrooms and steaks in the afternoon and put them on the BBQ just as guests arrived.  The entire meal was prepped in advance which meant that we could simply chill out and enjoy our company.

We served the meal with this Creamy Dill Potato Salad and Grilled Vegetable Skewers – you could also simply serve baked potatoes with a salad like this Blueberry Spinach Salad for a different vibe.  And for dessert… might I suggest Rum Soaked Grilled Pineapple, No-Bake Tequila Lime Cheesecake Bites or this easy Raspberry Blender Frozen Yogurt.

A few tips from Charles when it comes to your flank steak (if that is the option you are choosing), you want to first ensure you give it time to rest once cooked so that it can retain the moisture. You then want to cut it against the grain at around a 22 degree angle. This cut through the tough fibres and helps tenderize the steak.

You can alternately use the feta salsa on another cut of steak or of course could use it on chicken or fish (you wouldn’t marinate the chicken or fish).  We don’t eat much meat but try to get it from Tru Local whenever we do (use code FRAICHE20 for 20% off your first large box)!

Ingredients

Flank Steak

  • 3 lbs flank steak
  • 1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 cups water

Feta Salsa

  • 2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 1/2 cups loosely packed finely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

Flank Steak

  1. Place the steak(s) In a shallow baking pan or dish that will fit the steak OR in a large ziplock bag.  Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and water together in a bowl and add to the flank steak. Cover the dish, refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning once if needed (you will need to do this if it's in a pan).

  2. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and place on hot BBQ for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your preference. 

  3. Remove the steak from the barbecue, cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing, using a sharp chef's knife, on a diagonal (around a 22 degree angle) into thin pieces. Serve immediately with the feta salsa.

Feta Salsa

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use. You can make this ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

Portobello Mushrooms

  • 12 portobello mushrooms (stems removed)
  • 1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic (crushed)

Feta Salsa

  • 2 cups crumbled feta cheese (or sub vegan feta)
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped flat leaf parsley (loosely packed)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

Portobello Mushrooms

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag (you may need two) or shallow pan, add the mushrooms (in a single layer for the pan).  Combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar and garlic in a bowl, whisk together and add it to the mushrooms. Allow to marinate for around 30 minutes (don't leave them any longer than an hour or they will become too salty). Make the feta salsa (below) while the mushrooms marinate.

  2. Preheat the grill. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place on a hot grill. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side or until there are grill marks on the mushrooms and they are slightly softened.

  3. Serve two mushrooms per person with a spoon full or two of feta salsa.

Feta Salsa

  1. Combine all of the salsa ingredients together in a medium bowl, stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Hello! I am super looking forward to making these!
    This might be a silly question but would it work the same one a stove top for the mushrooms?
    Thank you for this tasty looking idea!

    Really tasty Tori! Thanks very much. Made it with grilled veggies using the same marinade. Cheated a little and served Costco potato salad because well…it was in the fridge. The feta topping was awesome!

LAST CALL - ‘Keep it Fraîche’ snack mix is disappearing on the 15th!  It was such a pleasure to partner with @mynakedsnacks on a snack that I am head over heels in love with. 
This is the snack that keeps me fuelled through my crazy busy days!  It’s custom designed with all my favourite trail mix ingredients (helloooo dark chocolate and dried cherries) and available in 3 custom size boxes.
I simply love that the company is locally owned by two kind souls Neil and Riley ... who just had a sweet baby!
Head to the link in my profile to shop and thank you for all of your support for the snack and of course for their company it means the world to me ❤️

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort
