Mushroom Steak Sandwich

Mushroom Steak Sandwich

We are making an incredibly delicious Mushroom Steak Sandwich this time. We need very few ingredients to put this one together and the result is amazing. Also if you need a vegan lunch on-the-go that is easy and quick to make, this one is for you!

I call this a vegan steak sandwich. But in all due honesty, this yummy mushroom sandwich won't taste much like an actual steak. What you can expect are incredibly juicy and tender portobellos. With all the amazing flavours and nutrients they have to offer. 

Portobello mushrooms are a great option when you want to add a meaty texture and strong taste to your dishes. Also, these beauties are super loaded with nutrients. And they are well known for their ability to protect the immune system.

I also like the fact that they are super easy to cook. Since they already have a unique strong taste, we don't really need to add or do much to them. For this recipe, we are simply frying them in the pan with a little bit of olive oil. I usually leave them in the pan for a little while after I flip them. This way I make sure all the juices really come out and the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked. 

We wanted to keep things simple with this mushrooms sandwich. Sometimes, I need a quick meal that I can put together in just a few minutes. So, I didn't go all too crazy on this one. 

I put the portobellos in between a whole grain roll cut in half. And I stuffed it with some rocket and baby spinach just to load up on those leafy greens. To finish it off, I added a sauce I use for sandwiches,  veggies, and, all sorts of different dishes. I find it's a very easy way to add a little extra kick of flavour and a nice creamy texture. 

Mushroom Steak Sauce

You only need vegan mayo, sea salt, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and a couple of dashes of smoked paprika and black pepper. I simply add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix them really well. Then I use this as a spread for the buns. 

These vegan sandwiches are so incredibly mouth-watering and I love that I can make them in less than 15 minutes. Sometimes, I make the sauce ahead of time, so all I have to do is fry the mushrooms, this makes it even quicker. That will take you about 5 minutes. 

When I have little time to cook this is one of my main go-to recipes. I also take it with me or if I'm planning to be out and about when it is time for lunch. I can easily pack this vegan sandwich. This way, I can forget about trying to find yummy vegan food around town that will cover all my needs. 

You are in for a treat. And you'll be amazed by how a meal this good can be so easy to make.
