Mushrooms are edible fungi that are popular in many cuisines around the world. They can be prepared in a variety of ways, but one popular method is to marinate them in a flavorful liquid before cooking. Balsamic vinegar is a dark, tangy vinegar that adds a rich flavor to mushrooms. When combined with other ingredients such as olive oil, garlic, and herbs, it creates a delicious marinade that can be used to create a variety of dishes.

Steps:
- For the balsamic marinated roast beef: Put the balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic and black pepper in a small saute pan over medium to high heat and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chopped rosemary and olive oil, and allow the mixture to cool.
- Put the marinade in a baking pan, put the beef in the pan and coat with hands. Put in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, maximum 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator. Put the beef in the oven and roast for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, until cooked to medium-rare and an instant thermometer inserted in the center of the roast has an internal temperature between 130 and 140 degrees F.
- Remove the beef from the oven and allow the beef to rest before slicing.
- For the mashed potatoes: Cook the potatoes in enough heavily salted water to cover, until tender. Drain the potatoes, reserving 3 tablespoons of the water. Put the potatoes back into the hot pot and using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes or mash.
- Put the butter, olive oil, and reserved potato water in the pot with the potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- For the baked camembert and herb oil: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking dish or oven-proof saute pan with parchment paper.
- Put the thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl and mix to incorporate.
- Put the bottom half of the Camembert on parchment paper. Spoon 1 tablespoon herb oil in the center of Camembert, place the top half on top and pour 1 tablespoon herb oil over top. Place the Camembert in the oven until the cheese has melted, approximately 10 minutes.
- For the sauteed mushrooms: Put the remaining herb oil and butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Put the mushrooms in the hot pan and saute until slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, and then remove from the heat.
- To assemble: To serve, place the roast beef and mashed potatoes on a warm plate and spoon the sauteed mushrooms and baked Camembert over the meat and potatoes.
BALSAMIC-MARINATED STEAK AND UNSTUFFED MUSHROOMS
We decided to top our steak with all the delicious components of a stuffed mushroom, from the crispy, buttery breadcrumbs to the bits of savory bacon. Slice any leftover steak thinly and serve in a warm crusty roll with the horseradish sauce for a quick meal.

Steps:
- 1. Pierce the meat all over with a fork and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic and whole rosemary. Seal the bag, pushing out all the air. Shake the bag a few times and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
- 2. Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Broil, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, about 13 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon, stirring, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs, butter, chopped rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, another 3 minutes. Set aside.
- 4. Stir together the sour cream and horseradish and season with salt and pepper. Slice the steak against the grain, top with the mushrooms and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve with the horseradish sauce on the side.
BALSAMIC MARINATED MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Halve or quarter the mushrooms to be small bites. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add the mushrooms to about a tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to release their moisture and brown. 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, olive oil and rosemary, then cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Cover and let sit for 2 hours. Makes 12 servings.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Select firm, fresh mushrooms with no bruising or blemishes. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are excellent choices for this recipe.
- Use High-Quality Balsamic Vinegar: Opt for a good-quality balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years. This will impart a rich, complex flavor to the marinade.
- Marinate for at Least 30 Minutes: Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the balsamic vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the mushrooms.
- Cook Over Medium Heat: When cooking the mushrooms, maintain medium heat to prevent them from burning or becoming rubbery.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano to enhance the flavor of the mushrooms.
- Serve Immediately: Balsamic marinated mushrooms are best served immediately after cooking to maintain their texture and flavor.
Conclusion:
Balsamic marinated mushrooms are a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. With their tangy, savory, and slightly sweet taste, these mushrooms are sure to impress your taste buds. Experiment with different types of mushrooms, balsamic vinegars, and herbs to create a unique and delicious dish that will become a favorite in your kitchen.
