    Notes

    For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the marinade.
    Use the leftover marinade as a light sauce by simmering it briefly on the stove.
    Don’t overcrowd mushrooms when cooking — they release water and may steam instead of sear.
    Pair with grilled vegetables, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.
