Remove the caps from the bag and place them on a clean plate to prepare for grilling.

Step 3

Step 2. Prepare and Preheat the Grill

Step 4

If you’re using a gas grill, go ahead and turn it on high. If you have temperature controls, 375°F is the perfect heat.

Step 5

Wait 10 minutes, and then check. Once your briquettes start to turn grey, dump them into the bottom half of the grill.

Step 6

Once all coals are gray, you’re ready to grill.

Step 7

Set the temperature to 180℉ and place mushrooms directly on the grill cap side down. Smoke for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Increase the grill temperature to High (about 450℉) about 15 minutes longer.

Step 9

Preheat your griddle to medium heat.

Step 10

Place the mushrooms top side down on the griddle.

Step 11

Cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Uncover and using a bench scraper or large spatula with a cutting edge and cut the mushrooms into slices. The marinade will fall out and cook on the griddle and reduce. Use a spatula to scrape it up with the sliced mushrooms when you remove them from the griddle.

Step 13

While your grill is preheating, gather your supplies, including

Step 14

Some long tongs with padding around the handle.

Step 15

An oven mitt to avoid getting burned.

Step 16

A clean plate to place your caps on once they’re cooked.

Step 17

Step 3. Get Grilling!

Step 18

Finally — it’s time to grill your mushrooms!

Step 19

Place your portabella caps on your grill over direct heat with the cap-side down so the mushroom gills look up at you. Immediately cover the grill with a grill-safe lid.

Step 20

Direct vs. Indirect Heat

Step 21

Set a timer for five minutes and stay nearby. Remain close to avoid burning your mushrooms!

Step 22

After five minutes, check your caps. Use your long tongs to flip your mushrooms, being careful not to burn yourself. If lightly browned on the bottom, the caps are ready to grill gill-side down. Cook the opposite side for another five minutes, checking for those beautiful grill lines.

Step 23

You may need to continue checking on your caps in two-minute increments if you think they could use a little longer on the grates. Just keep flipping until you achieve your desired char.

Step 24

Then you’re done! It’s time to plate and serve your perfectly grilled Portabella mushrooms!
