Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce

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.  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,  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.

Additionally, many recipes also highlight helpful hints or how-tos. This Portobello Steak with Tomato Caper Sauce recipe has a How to Clean Mushrooms inlay which answers the question of whether to wipe, soak, or dunk.

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 sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the garlic is golden brown. Gently stir with a large spatula. Add the sliced olives, stir, and sauté 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.

There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbo There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbook for the first time! Akin to exploring an uncharted destination; the possibilities are endless! As the title of this culinary masterpiece by Gina Zarcadoolas reads,"Cuisines, Corkscrews, & Cultures: A Treasury of Recipes, Wine Pairings, and Travel Lifestyles", the discovery is no longer metaphorical! Gina graciously includes us in her global travels while sharing a treasury of cultural recipes and wine pairing suggestions!

I was so excited to make "Gina's Naughty Spaghetti alla Puttanesca" (pictured above), and it did not disappoint! The well-crafted combination of gratifying flavors played out in a symphony of color and textures. As many of you know, I eat a plant-based diet. By no means does that mean I can't enjoy all of the delightful combinations of ingredients that Gina employs in her phenomenal recipes. Sometimes it just means a quick and easy substitution. For example, in this lovely Puttanesca, I merely substituted plant-based meat for the anchovies. To maintain the taste of the sea, a small addition of seaweed does the trick!
🍽
With the holidays fast approaching, I am always on the lookout for great gift ideas. Gina's cookbook, and all it has to offer, would definitely make a lovely present to bestow! You can find Gina and her cookbook @foodieandwinelover
Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was t Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was the case this weekend as I traveled down the apropos named "Road to Nowhere"--alternatively Corridor H in West Virginia. Resistant to abandon my plans to study for the day as I eagerly look forward to completing my continuing education and additional certifications in nutrition and wellness.
🍁
After some convincing I acquiesced. I've spent much of my life in two of the neighboring states to West Virginia, but my travels there rest solidly in the single digits. Once firmly afoot the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains, I realized a deficit in my life. Air--fresh air. Breaths--slow and deep. Healing--quieting stress in mind and body.
🍁
Looking around I knew it was important to capture this moment. A reminder. Grabbing my phone that had long since disconnected itself from cyberspace, I began snapping pictures. The leaves are turning, the wind turbines are spinning, and the colors are amazing. I've shared a couple above if you'd like a taste.
🍁
I am a planner and, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But on this day letting go of the plan was the best plan of all! So tell me, are you a planner?? Do you plan not to plan?? How do you unplug? Have you taken a ride on the road to nowhere?

Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can wor Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can work culinary miracles when it comes to changing a flavor profile! But did you know they also amp up the nutrient value of your dish? A tablespoon of parsley has 8% of your Daily Value of vitamin C and can be a natural diuretic. Many herbs contain antioxidants and can act as anti-inflammatory agents. If you don't already love herbs, you will after you watch the live chat I had with Lori Corbin. Along with nutritional benefits, we talk about how to store, use, and even grow your own! Lori provides great tips for growing herbs inside and out!
