Lion's Mane "Steak" Sandwich

1. Preheat your griddle over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add 3-4 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil and place the mushrooms on the griddle.

3. Use a cast iron pan or other heavy lid to press water out of the mushrooms, covering your hand with a towel for safety.

4. Press on the first side for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and press again until flattened to about 1-inch thickness with a golden brown sear on both sides.

5. Add mushrooms to a plastic storage bag with marinade ingredients (from beetroot powder to water) and place in the fridge overnight.

6. The next day, preheat your grill and remove mushrooms from the marinade bag.

7. Lay out mushrooms on the hot grill and cook until charred on both sides, about 7 to 8 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

8. Slice the mushrooms and add them to the baguette with fresh arugula and vegan mayo.

9. Serve the sandwich and enjoy.
