Notes: Grilling portobellos with a simple marinade, some garlic
and herbs produces a meaty meal that should satisfy a craving
for steak.

- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic or red wine vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

pepper to taste. Brush mushrooms with oil mixture.
Place mushrooms, cap-side down, on pan and broil or grill until
