→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 whole lion's mane fungi

→ Marinade

02 - 2 tbsp coconut aminos
03 - 2-3 tbsp avocado oil (extra needed for cooking)
04 - 2 tsp paprika
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 2 tsp coconut sugar
07 - 1 tsp flaky salt (or 1/2 tsp sea salt)
08 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes

→ Chimichurri

09 - 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely
10 - 2 tbsp fresh oregano, diced
11 - 1/4 cup red onion or 3 shallots, diced tiny
12 - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
13 - 1 garlic clove, finely diced
14 - 1 lemon, squeezed
15 - 1/4 tsp sea salt
16 - 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or more lemon juice)
17 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes (change amount to your liking)

# Instructions:

01 - Throw parsley, oregano, red onion, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes into a bowl and stir them together. Put it aside for now.
02 - Put coconut aminos, avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, coconut sugar, flaky salt, and chili flakes together in a glass container or bowl. Stir everything well and set it to the side.
03 - Warm up a skillet with a bit of avocado oil on low-medium heat. Put in one lion's mane mushroom and squish it down using tongs, then press it even flatter with a heavy plate. Cook each side for a few minutes until it looks like a flat steak. Do the same with the other mushroom.
04 - Dunk each cooked mushroom in the marinade mix, making sure all sides get covered. If your container has a lid, give it a gentle shake, or just use a spoon to coat everything evenly. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes.
05 - Heat up the skillet again on medium with a bit more avocado oil. Toss in your marinated mushrooms and any leftover sauce. Cook each side around 5 minutes, pressing down with a plate. When they're fully cooked, take them out and put them on plates.
06 - Spoon the chimichurri sauce over your mushroom steaks and serve them while they're hot. You can add some quinoa on the side if you want a fuller meal.
