Ingredients & Substitutions
Lion’s Mane mushrooms are fantastic for their texture and health benefits. If you can’t find them, you can also try using portobello mushrooms, but the flavor will be slightly different. Always check your soy sauce for gluten-free options if needed!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to pair these with a creamy vegan sauce, like cashew cream, for added richness.
- •Letting the mushrooms marinate longer will deepen the flavor, so don't rush this step!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
- •You can also try different herbs like rosemary or thyme for a unique twist.
Storage & Freezing
These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently in a skillet to keep them from getting tough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grill these instead of frying?
Absolutely! Grilling adds a nice smoky flavor, just make sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t dry out.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Begin by slicing your Lion’s Mane mushrooms into thick slabs, about 1-inch thick. This gives them that steak-like texture that we’re after.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. This will be our marinade.
- 3
Place the mushroom slabs into the marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they absorb the flavors.
- 4
While the mushrooms are marinating, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- 6
Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. This brightens everything up!
- 7
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, perhaps with a side of roasted veggies or a fresh salad.
