Method to make this oyster mushroom steak recipe

First you will need to heat up a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Make sure your oyster mushrooms are clean and fully dry (I like to just dry brush them to clean them off.)

Once the pan is hot, lightly spray with avocado oil. Place oyster mushrooms in pan and flatten with spatula. Keep cooking and pressing down until juices start to come out and it begins to cook to a golden color. Flip over and make sure each side is evenly cooked with a little bit of brown.

At this point the mushrooms should start to soften and be flattened out. Season with salt, pepper and steak seasoning on each side of the mushrooms. Keep cooking on each side for about a minute each (You may need to turn down the heat. Be careful to not burn.)

Then take the sugar free steak sauce and coat all sides of the mushrooms steaks with a brush. Flip over and lightly cook for about a minute on each side again.

Place onto dish and brush again with sugar free steak sauce and steak seasoning then serve. Optional to garnish with chopped green onions.
