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.
Yes! It’s a game changer. You got this. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Love spicy foods
I want this really bad. It looks so delicious
Breaded them and fried them recently Absolutely scrumptious! I will try this too.
suck all that unhealthy oil while convincing yourself you're eating healthy..... the lack of self awareness in Americans is unmatchable
My wife was told by her DR hat she needs to go on a strick Vegan diet. At 84, no more meat, lamb, pork, chicken, eggs or fish (I don't understand the NO FISH part). Like you, I am a at home cooking chef. Now I need to find Vegan, not Vegetarian, meals. I must have watched 20 Lion's Mane recipes and this one was the best. Just made it tonight and it was EXCELLENT. Only one question - most BBQ Sauces have sugar in them, which she can't have. You didn't say it was Vegan BBQ Sauce. I used low sodium Soy Sauce instead. Still came out great. Thanks. I have subscribed to your site and look forward to more recipes. Jerry.
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!
Well done! Glad you like the technique, keep experimenting! Thanks for sharing.
Love to try this would love to go vegan but don’t know we’re to start 😊
Fantastic! Thanks for the details of your version. And cudos on your lengthy plant based journey💚
I'm sure that Paul Stamets would be honored to eat this! ♡ Sending much love from Washington state! ♡♡♡
imagine them meeting together
YASSS
Do you mean from Star Trek Discovery? 👀 Edit: just realised he was named after the real life Paul Stamets 😅
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 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
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.
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 tried this recipe, and it came out soooooo good! I was shocked at how good it came out; I will do this again!!!
went to our local farmers market n bought some lion's mane... been taking lion's mane extract for stress n better mood but now will try to cook it... wish me luck....
How did it turn out? Any luck?
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!
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.
The reason you call your veggies “steaks” and enjoyed cooking real meat is because our bodies are MEANT to eat meat. Humans are carnivores by nature, not herbivores or omnivores 👍🏼
@@amyk6028 as a meat eater this is patently false; eating meat alone will cause malnutrition (and a very adventurous gastrointestinal experience). even up north in the artic where indigenous peoples wouldn't eat much carbs (see keto), they still needed berries, greens, etc.. to stay healthy
also, we aren't MEANT anything; we evolved to fit whatever niche we found ourselves in
@@amyk6028people are allowed to be selective about what they eat.
Our bodies will either adapt to our diets or fail to some degree. Vegans and vegetarians have figured out how to get the nutrients they need for survival, and animal-eaters do the same.
It is so bizarre when people take other people's food choices so personally.
@@amyk6028 incorrect, it's marketing that's made people think humans need meat
if humans are meant to eat meat why can't we eat raw meat without getting sick
also human teeth are designed to eat plants
I fell for it for many years
What real vegan wants something that reminds them of slaughterhouse products? Just eat beans bro.
I have tried cooking lions mane before and didn’t like it. So yesterday I decided after following your channel for a while to give another shot. Picked up some lions mane and tried this recipe. OMG. I haven’t had steak in over 25 years, and these steaks looked felt and tasted just like what I remembered. Absolutely delicious, and no one is harmed. I called that win-win. Thank you for all the amazing recipes and keep them coming.
I got a lions mane grow bag and harvested my first flush today. I followed this recipe exactly and it was fantastic
I loooovvve spicy food. It’s one of the reasons I like your recipes - they’re always well-spiced (not just heat, but flavor).
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.
this is the future of food
Indeed it is 😊
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💕✨
The mushroom vendor wasn’t there but I am determined to eat this. Lol
Where else can we buy these mushrooms?
I’m from Ohio.
@@fieryscorpion If you're close to Fort Wayne, the mushrooms are sold at the farmers market at Parkview Field on Saturday mornings.
@@mikeroeger8804 The only issue is I’m 93 miles away from Fort Wayne. 😅
I’m in Findlay OH, so do you know any closer ones?
Thanks! 😃
@@fieryscorpion I'm sorry but I don't. I don't know if anyone in Bowling Green or Toledo sells them.
Who else wants to open a restaurant right now, just to serve that mushroom xing 😍
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 🙌🏻
Where can I order lions mane mushrooms?
@@cherylshort5005 Smithy mushrooms, unfortunately sold out at the moment 🤷🏻 They have a big range & a subscription service on the website. Derek visited their farm in a previous episode 🥳
If I only lived in the UK!😥
Oh man I'm going to try char siu sauce on mushrooms now.
@yolandaquimby3489 in Chicago, they have a mushroom company you can order them.
This is so amazing. Completely in awe with the taste, texture and everything!!
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.)
They arent hard to grow at all. I am kind of clever sometimes but not on growing mushrooms. Super doable.
Fantastic!
Looks great!👌🏼
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.
Once mother nature shares her gift with me (lion's mane) I will try this recipe, it looks amazing! Until then I still have never found one while foraging but I've only been hunting for the last year or so...maybe I'll stumble upon it soon!
Look up they grow on trees!
On dead hardwood trees
Impressive
Thanks for watching
Looks amazing!
OMG... OMG...i can't wait to try it
What a great looking "steak!!" I understand the lion's mane is pretty versatile, doing a good impersonation of crab/lobster as well. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Mouthwatering!!
Incredible! 🔥
Thanks for watching
Back-to-back wicked kitchen creations this weekend! Yesterday was grilled eggplant filets and butternut squash/cabbage steaks. And after a farmers market haul this morning, lions mane steaks for lunch! So good, so quick!
Wicked! Sounds amazing.
I can’t wait to try this. I’m growing some lions mane right now. I don’t miss eating meat and am not looking to replace it but I love mushrooms and am excited to try cooking these. It’s all about flavour and perception.
I grow my own too....tried this today, it's awesome.
Went vegan due to IBS. Seen some of your brand at the grocery store. This looks amazing. I will have to change the seasons (also due to IBS) I'm going to use smoked paprika also. I find if I use smoke paprika it gives every mushroom I've tried a meaty hearty feel. I wish I had stumbled on your yt channel sooner. Thank God for mushrooms and cast iron cooking!
Thanks for being here and for watching.
Flame shoots from the pan.
Me: oh shit my kitchen's on fire.
Chef Derek: Cool!
I love this channel sooooo much I wish you posted more 😊 also thank you for this recipe recommendation.
Thanks for saying so!! We’ll try to keep the videos coming!
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. 👍
Exactly. Thanks for sharing!!
Hmm I'm going to raise some lions mane for fun and grill it. But the two best dishes I've ever ate in my life were slow roasted prime rib and polynesian pit bbq. I've tried lots of food from tofu, pig blood in the philippines, salted fish, almond milk, and fake bacon. I just haven't found nothing in the vegan world that has made me want to abandon meat taste wise. I raise my own beef in a large pasture. I think it's bad to raise animals in tight spaces and for them to have a bad life sure, but I've not been able to abandon eating meat especially when I raise my own beef and chickens etc. Now if vegan meals actually were say the best meal i've ever had I'd probably consider going that way. It's like I was raised on raw milk as a kid and now I still drink milk from the store, but it's subpar. It's lower quality being pasturized and not fresh, but the government and all claims to know best. My taste buds however still has me liking raw milk when I get the chance to get some.
yes I eat plant based and ignored the cooking instructions and am enjoying it raw, along with some raw beef liver. the cow was purely based on plants
Yes definitely trying this
There’s a reason God gave us meat… there’s a reason why they want us to eat bugs and fake meat they are making for them to continue eating red meat dairy eggs Etc
I tried it... approved!
Spice it up truly enjoy!
thank you for rocking my world
I love everything about this video and also your cutting board!
Glad you like it!
I didn’t know Tony Hawk liked to cook
Spicy food all the way Derek! ❤
I love spicy, looks incredibly delicious!!
I'm happy I ran into your channel, It's only been 9 months since I started my vegan journey, and I'm always looking for new recipes ideas to try out, I enjoy spicy foods every now and then. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials, ty for sharing.
Looks good🌱
The lion's mane really is a fantastic mushroom. It tastes delicious, has so many health benefits. Almost to good to be true, but it is. Currently I am trying to initiate some lion's mane mushroom spawn to grow some at home, because due to them loosing a lot of weight due to water being evaporated it can be pretty expensive if you wanna feed a full family.
The true beauty of as compared to meat is you can grow your own mushrooms :D
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Mesmerizing, Chef Sarno! 🙏🏼🍄🌱
Thanks, Susan!
Thanks, Derek!!☺
I followed the cooking directions except only added spice mix once to each side. AMAZING
Your passion into this type of cooking is infective..👍
GREAT JOB!!!!!
I make your garlic gravy with the wine all the time and if I were to get hold of those mushrooms I would make this as well. Thank you for this recipe.
Respect the technique! Love the texture of lions mane! Bring the heat, Sir! Burgers, thin-sliced fillets. Sauced or undressed! Bedded on rice with veg of preference; or plated all by itself! This is a winner!
Awesome!!
I'm following along and it's actually really fun. I'm not much of a cook but I wanted to see how to eat these for the health benefits- but mushrooms open up a whole new world to me!
Hey Derek. I just discovered your channel. I've been a sous chef in kitchens and just became pescatarian in 2021. Anyway, i almost always add spice to my dishes. Not only are they tastier, but the health benefits increase with spices and peppers in general. Great channel, but i hardly find your products here in LA or at least where i live.
This was awesome, ive never been sure what to do with lions mane. Turned out delicious thank you!
Love it ....can't wait to try it.
Thank you
Hope you enjoy
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👍🏽😁
Thank you, for changing to vegan and leaving dairy and eggs off your plate!! 🙏🏻 ❤️
im a "meat eater" but this is still real food and looks delicious. People should be eating this instead of that beyond burger crap.
Looks very interesting
Thanks for sharing
wow, eye opener, amazing, I neeeed to try this
Please do!
Just grew some lions mane and finally it was ready to be cooked. This recipe was gold! Absolutely loved the seasoning and the way you cooked it, I probably should’ve left it in the oven a bit longer but all in all I loved it and my Omni boyfriend loved it. Great cook can’t wait to try your other recipes!
I am soooo excited to try this. Finally found fresh Lion's Mane at a local store. I've been eyeballing this recipe for a while. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yum we love growing lion's mane!
👆👆link up with him 👆👆
He's a verified mycologist, he got some quality stuffs
gamechaning technique - the second pan works really well on oysters, too.🤤🤝
I definitely love spicy foods from all over the world. I'm so looking forward to finding (and cooking) Lion's Mane mushrooms. Just watching these videos, and I'm relatively new to this channel, my mouth waters. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
All I know is I love your cooking, and I love all 🍄s
Especially, Lions Mane 😋
Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and compassion for all Animals. God bless you!
Check out to this mate I get my stuff from, he sells psychedelics discreetly, also have Mushrooms Embryos, Shrooms, Dmt, Lsd, Lion Mane Microdose, Spores Syringe and more 🍄💯 he could direct you also if you're a newbie in it.

On Instagram...
Dang! This really looks incredible.
I came across your little brats at a sprouts grocery in Denver, Colorado. Well done guys, those were amazing with a little kraut and cornbread
I am going to make this today since I’ll be visiting the farmers market . This recipe looks absolutely amazing . Just subscribed ! Yummm thank you !
This gave me an idea. I could make "pork" chops German style, the way my Dad used to make. As someone else suggested, it involves breading and frying and served with apple sauce. I'm going to give it a try. We have Asian markets here that carry all sorts of mushrooms I'm sure I can find them there.
Thanks for watching. We'll be doing a long form of this soon. ua-cam.com/users/shorts6ynx1gyNDJo?feature=share
it's nice that humans have developed to enjoy the act of demonstration and dialogue regardless of the topic. that in and of itself is entertaining, I love lion's mane, I'm tempted to try this.
Are you not a human?
Question and a special request.
Can I bulk cook these mushroom steaks and freeze them? Plus I would love to see a cast-iron care video since you are the master. I have cast-iron but I'm unsure if I've seasoned them correctly and unsure how to properly clean them. Would love your take on the matter. Thanks for all you do and I've tried several of your recipes and all have been delicious.
Thx, I am amazed as well at it's taste, definitely a new go- to
Great advice - subscribed. Tried this with shichimi togarashi, cayenne pepper, rosemary and salt n pepper seasoning. Ate two lion’s mane steaks with a mixed salad. Very tasty, but the mushrooms shrunk radically. Got to start next time with much bigger ones.
As always your food and your style are awesome 👏
That looks amazing. I just bought some lion’s mane yesterday and plan to follow your cooking method tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Just made these last night and I had a considerable amount of water come out. Damn near submerged half of the mushrooms. Would you recommend pouring off the water if it's this excessive? Thank you. They were amazingly Delicious btw and super tender in certain parts.
Yo!!!!! I am LATE TO THE PARTY!!!! This DISH LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!
I love spicy food and also cater to kids so I learned balance.
Also the cooking experience is apart of the fun. This recipe looks simple and this is a favorite in my kitchen. I’ll try this today.
Ma man! Amazing recipe! Looks absolutely delicious! I cannot find lions mane locally, so I bought a producer's kit and I will try your recipe! Cheers from Brazil!
Awesome! Looking forward to hearing about your results
Making this tonight! I am fortunate to live within 25 miles of the Lodge Cast Iron manufacturing facility in southern Tennessee, and I have quite a collection from their outlet. Looking forward to pulling a couple of skillets out of the pantry to cook up these shrooms.
Please put me in the camp of "not so much spice, please". Love your book and your videos.... thank you!
Love all your recipes ✌️🙌🙌🙌🙌
A Couple of people in the produce section of Whole Foods told me about lions mane mushroom today. I’m excited to try it.😊
I like just enough spice to warm the palate slightly, thus amplifying the flavors, but when cooking for others I make a sauce without heat, then split that into another dispenser *with* heat for those who like it. This allows people to determine the amount of heat for themselves. I have one grandchild who can't handle heat no one else can even detect!
Great tip!
Looks so Good!!
Love your recipes and your manner. I just bought Lion's Mane mushrooms at my farmers market in Chicago for $24.00 a pound. I asked the young lady how much a box was and she started showing me how much made a 1/4 of a pound. I remined her I asked about the box. She apologized saying most folks buy 1/4 or 1/2 a pound. Mine will go into the convection toaster oven.
Have you tried the lion mane yet how does it taste
Just ordered a couple of lions mane mushrooms from my local farmers market, can't wait to get them and make this.
I tried it. Amazing!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.
Made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious!
This recipe looks amazing, but what I really need is a tutorial on that cook trick you do with the kitchen tongs. Cooler than a pancake flip!
Love spicy food, but not every day. Great recipe! Mushrooms are amazing 🤤🤤🤤❤
I will be looking for Lion Manes Mushrooms 🍄.... Thanks...
That looks delicious!
Omg thank you sooo much I just made this and it came out so delicious!
Really good just cooked up my first batched and loved em thank you
Game changer. Thank you!
I had no idea they can be found so large. My local grows/sells them much smaller. Great technique, will enjoy this.
