Happy Friday! For this week’s “Friday Faves,” I’m highlighting a plant-based twist on a nostalgic favorite. If you’re old enough to remember those frozen steak sheets from back in the day, you’ll love this upgraded version that’s flavorful, satisfying and 100% plant-based.
Oyster Mushroom “Steak” Sandwich 🍄🟫 🧅 🫑
Oyster mushrooms are the perfect steak substitute. When cooked just right, they replicate the meaty texture we all loved—without any of the actual meat. Plus, they’re packed with nutrients and flavor, making them a superstar ingredient for your next sandwich creation.
Why It’s a Friday Fave:
-
- Oyster mushrooms mimic the texture of steak without the saturated fat or cholesterol.
- The combination of my Montreal “Steak” Seasoning and caramelized veggies is irresistible.
- It’s hearty, flavorful and perfect for a weekend indulgence!
Where to Find Oyster Mushrooms:
Look for oyster mushrooms at your local farmers’ market, specialty grocery stores or even some larger supermarkets. The best prices are at Asian or Oriental Markets. They’re versatile and worth keeping on hand for all kinds of dishes.
This sandwich will have you reminiscing about those steak sheets while embracing all the goodness of plant-based living.
I’d love for you to reply so we can reminisce and I’ll send you over the recipe, ok?
Wishing you a delicious Friday.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
