I just tried this with my first attempt at Lion's Mane cooking. slam dunk of flavor. This method is legit AF. I made a buttery demiglace with shallots, Worcestershire and a very small dash of wine while it was in the convection stage. Superb.

I have been a vegetarian all my life; hubby has been one for 50 years or so. When I first tried this method of preparing the Lion's Mane mushroom, I had nothing to compare it to, but hubby was super impressed with the texture and its similarity to steak. He gave it 2 thumbs up; so today I began experimenting. I did a couple of 'press & flips' with a minimum of salt only. Then took each steak and dipped it into aquafaba (replacing egg dip), and then dredged through a breadcrumb/seasoning/flaxmeal mix, and popped back into the pan. A couple more 'press and flips', then set aside and used the remaining aquafaba to loosen yummies on the bottom of the pan, reduced to very thick, and then added a nutmilk to that to a sauce thickness, and served with the steaks.Excellent entree for those special dinners-for-two!
It's a good thing we have a local Lion's Mane grower...it is going on the regular home menu!

I just made this for my first time trying Lion's Mane and I'm blown away. It's a dead ringer for a loin chop. It's so close it was scary. Find it if you can and make it for all your carnist friends. Show them how amazing food can be without animal products. 👍

Just wanted to note your comments about how you enjoyed cooking before and wanted to continue enjoying the entire process after going vegan is a great answer for folks who question why vegans/WFPB/vegetarian people like to use veg, shrooms, tofu etc to make items they call "steaks" or "Cutlets" etc. Along with cooking and eating enjoyment, it also completes our traditional looking meals on our plates visually - a main dish with accompanying sides. Anything to make it easier for people to make the move to an animal free/vegan/wfpb lifestyle. I don't know if I explained that well but I wanted to toss it out there.

I love to hear the reasoning of why you do things in a recipe vs just saying how to do it. It really helps to understand the foods we try to prepare and what the effect could be with how we decide to prepare them

I'm sure that Paul Stamets would be honored to eat this! ♡ Sending much love from Washington state! ♡♡♡

Made this tonight and was blown away with the taste and texture! I miss ‘steak night’ with my husband. It takes a bit of coordination to get the cast iron pans working, and we were just a bit worried I’d set the fire alarm off. It was worth it. Excellent technique. I served with roasted Yukon gold potatoes and cast iron pan seared broccoli spears. Delicious! Next I’m going to make the Citrus Garlic Butter King Mushroom Steaks.

I got a lions mane grow bag and harvested my first flush today. I followed this recipe exactly and it was fantastic

[perplexedon]

Huge respect for your attitude towards keeping the cultural elements of meat eating alive without any of the animal suffering. I've been vegan for a couple of years now and I do find that it's those little things that contribute towards people feeling like going vegan is a huge change.

Thank you for the great video! I'm getting ready to prepare the Lion's Mane I just harvested. I was in the backyard vacuuming off the coils of the AC condenser of all things and spied a bright white "flower" from over the fence in the woods. The cauliflower sized "flush" was on the end of a 4ft long tree trunk, the remains of a 65ft tall beloved silver maple that had died and had to be cut down. And on the other end of the same log was an even larger fruiting! With luck, the Lion's Mane will fruit again to provide more meals! Even though that tree is gone, it's still bringing joy to our lives.

I tried this recipe, and it came out good! I was shocked at how good it came out; I will do this again!!!

[scottboyer]

Fantastic recipe and step-by-step walk-through. The result far exceeded my expectations. Lions mane has amazingly meat-like color and texture while having a mild flavor NOT reminiscent of earthier flavors cremini or portobello. This recipe came out visually stunning and incredibly juicy.

I last had Char Sui pork about 30 years ago. Had some lee kum kee char sui sauce on king oyster clusters last night, was the tastiest meal I’ve had this year. Ordering some lions mane today 👌🏻 Thank you for the heads up Sir 🙌🏻

[SenoritaConejita]

Wow! I usually make fried chicken strips with lion's mane (using a vegan chik'n seasoning and some white wine), but this I gotta try! Thanks so much, looks so simple and delicious!

[sarahdee]

Flame shoots from the pan.
Me: oh shit my kitchen's on fire.
Chef Derek: Cool!

[johncross]

Delicious!! I tried cooking mine the same way and it came out amazing. I'm not a vegetarian but new foods like this really intrigue me.

[theuniquebean]

I wasn’t going to get up early this morning. Just lounge in bed but my farmers market has these mushrooms. Excited to make this dish! Thank you💕✨

[SikeySikey]

I think this video might have just turned me into a vegan from a vegetarian, purely because I just love mushrooms & the vast amount of plants, cheese alternatives & also milk alternatives now available too. You just cooking & this video alone has inspired me, love this & also love the assortment of spices you’ve used. I can not wait to get back into the kitchen & start cooking👍🏽😁

[susanwaterworth]

So lovely to see you back on YT sharing your fabulous food ideas. ONE OF THESE DAYS I will live in a country where I can get these shrooms! Thank you for helping to pull people away from eating animals with your absolutely swoon-worthy recipes. (Hope you get to cook for the Dalai Lama!!!! I am sure he would be delighted.)
