Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce

Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce is a hearty plant-based main dish! I am happy to share it with you from my cookbook Eat Well, Be Well. This dish is perfect for those times when you want a dinner that requires a knife and fork. Something you can sink your teeth into, but still 100% plant-based.

After spending time in my carefully-crafted marinade, they are cooked on a stovetop or grill. These tender portobello steaks are then topped with a zesty tomato sauce that features capers, garlic, and olives.

I love to serve them alongside a salad of lightly dressed fresh greens and/or grilled asparagus. For a more substantial option, you could serve them over a light bed of pasta.

Eat Well, Be Well Cookbook Updated Release Date

In an effort to adjust to the challenges facing so many right now, my publisher decided to change the release of my cookbook to October 6, 2020.Β  As a small token of my thanks for your patience, I promised I would release one of the recipes from Eat Well, Be Well.

The category choice was yours. Many of you responded to my posts on social media or messaged me directly with your vote. While the mains won, the snacks and desserts were close seconds.

In the coming weeks I will focus on creating some new snacks and desserts,Β  so just like the cookbook — there will be something for everyone!

Favorite Features in Eat Well, Be Well

One of the reasons I selected the Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce is the flavor profile of the dish. I absolutely love the way the capers, garlic, and olives play off of one another.

Another reason was to give you a sneak peek into a couple of my favorite features of the book. You can see the dietary features (colored circles at the top of the page) provided which are specific to each recipe in the book. This recipe has no added sugar, an oil-free option, is nut-free and soy-free.

Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce

Portobello Steaks with Tomato Caper Sauce is a hearty plant-based main dish that I am happy to share with you from my cookbook Eat Well, Be Well. This dish is perfect for those times when you want a dinner that requires a knife and fork--something you can sink your teeth into--but still 100% plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce (for a non–soy free option)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed and scrubbed clean
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, or vegetable broth or water for an oil-free option (page 17)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons nonpareil capers
  • 1/2 cup sliced olives (I use a mix of Kalamata, Spanish, and Castelvetrano)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  • 1) In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, coconut aminos, mustard, garlic, onion powder, and salt.
  • 2) Pour the marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Place the portobellos one at a time in the bag, seal the bag, and toss to coat the mushrooms thoroughly. Place them top down in a glass pan. Pour the remaining marinade from the bag over the mushrooms and cover. Refrigerate and marinate 1 hour.
  • 3) Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium or large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and capers and sautΓ© for 4 to 5 minutes until the garlic is golden brown. Gently stir with a large spatula. Add the sliced olives, stir, and sautΓ© for 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce and gently stir with a spatula. Continue cooking for 15 minutes at a low simmer, while stirring periodically. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • 4) While the sauce simmers, cook the mushrooms. Remove the portobellos from the marinade and place on a plate top side down. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5) Add 1 teaspoon olive oil or a couple of tablespoons of the remaining marinade to a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the portobello caps top side up in the pan. Season the tops with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side (more time is required for larger portobellos). They should be nicely browned and tender. Alternatively, they can be cooked on a grill over medium heat. The cooking time should remain the same.
  • 6) Remove the portobello steaks from the pan with tongs and gently pour off any liquid that may have seeped from the mushrooms. Place the portobello steaks on a plate and spoon the tomato-caper sauce on top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prep time does not include marinating the mushrooms. They will need 1 hour to marinate before cooking this dish.

Are you already wondering what to do with your Tha Are you already wondering what to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Check out my new video on YouTube (link in bio ☝️ ) where I share three creative ideas for scrumptious dishes you can make with your leftovers. All of this deliciousness is (of course) plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free!😍 Do you love Thanksgiving leftovers, or are you one-n-done❓❓
Pantry problems?? When was the last time you clean Pantry problems?? When was the last time you cleaned it out or gave it a re-org? Whether your pantry has a door or is a cabinet in your kitchen, it pays to give it some TLC once in a while. πŸ’• I find it plays a key role in preparing meals at home--making it realistic and doable, not dread-worthy. 😣 From freeing up space by tossing items that have exceeded their shelf life to arranging items based on frequecy of use, you'll reap the reward everytime you step into your kitchen!! πŸ’―

When was the last time you did a pantry purge❓ Would you find it helpful if I provided a step by step post or video❓ Let me know in the comments below! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™ŒπŸ˜Š
I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s ha I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s handcrafted fudge. One of the many things I always looked forward to in the holiday season was mom churning out large bowls of this fudge to gift. Naturally, someone had to taste every batch and assure it was gift-worthy! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ˜
[]
While this recipe is dramatically different in ingredients from traditional fudge, the taste is identical to moms. Identical. It requires only six ingredients, but you may be really surprised by one of them. Being a fudge purist, I ensured this exquisite yet simple dessert is nothing short of a pure, chocolate delight. I use coconut sugar instead of the "sugar coma" inducing refined sugars, and for that creamy goodness I use a ripe avocado. Yep! NO avocado flavor. Use a nice ripe avocado and this chocolate goodness is mouth-watering indulgent but healthier too!”

I created this recipe for Creamy Avocado Fudge years ago, and have gotten so many requests for it that I included it in my new Eat Well, Be Well cookbook! Link above. ☝️ πŸ₯‘πŸ«πŸ˜‹
I want to share a personal bit that I didn't inclu I want to share a personal bit that I didn't include when writing the Introduction to Eat Well, Be Well. In the Intro, I talk about some of the reasons I wrote the book. While they stand true, there is another layer I did not address.

My father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes when I was young. Even then, there was a link established between dietary modifications and the progression of this disease. His doctors told him that he could dramatically slow the progression by changing his diet. Over the years we watched my father try to change the way he ate, but he would always return to his prior way of eating. Healthy food recipes that tasted delicious simply did not exist back then, or were very scarce.
[]
My father's disease progressed from oral medication to insulin injections to a loss of vision and ultimately kindney failure. He passed away at a very young age, in his mid 50's, after a failed kidney transplant. It was devastating, as is always the case in the loss of a loved one.
[]
One of the many thoughts that stuck with me over the years after his passing was the feeling that it didn't have to be that way. I know I'm not alone. Many feel this way when faced with the loss of a loved one. But I wanted to do something, if even in a very small way, to help other people avert premature loss.
[]
My greatest inspiration for creating these recipes is to use a loss for good. Making food that is life promoting and nourishing, yet doesn't make you feel like you are sacrificing by abstaining from palate pleasing flavors. I create these recipes to provide people that are battling preventable diseases, or want to be a healthier version of themselves, alternatives to the life-robbing foods. Ones that don't require isolation at the dinner table. Dishes that can be shared and enjoyed by all!
[]
I know my father would be happily picking up his fork to eat these recipes on repeat, and for me that is the ultimate satisfaction!
