I love how u read out the meaning of "steak" 🤣

I have NEVER seen another channel that shows you how to make plant based meat with as much knowledge and precision as this one. When I see another recipe I always find things they leave out that you would have added that would have made it better. These always look amazing. And I love that you are not afraid of science.

the best part of this video is when you educate the haters on the meaning of steak and then tell them, "we're making steak". I love it.

The steak definition is golden 🤣

If you were to sell a whole kit to make just this mushroom steak I would totally buy it! I think, if you could sell it on Amazon, you would make a fortune! Little sachets of the ingredients and a dried lions mane in one box? You'd make a killing!

Mushrooms can be anything they want to be , with enough imagination

You gotta get your wife/girlfriend/significant other to test more of your recipes... I trust her opinion..

made a steak with lions mane about a month ago, cooked it like a normal steak, by basting it in (vegan) butter with thyme, garlic and sage, and it was MIND BLOWING, have to say you definitely do not need the marinade you used, tastes like steak without it! so damn good! p.s, the English language changes constantly, dictionaries updated constantly, who cares

I don't get why people leave comments like "just eat a real steak", if they don't like the video, just go watch something else. Also, I'm interested in your videos even though I eat meat because you are showing good examples of how to use and control certain flavours. Not to mention, a lot of people can't eat meat even if they wanted to, so these videos are beneficial to them also. A couple of my friends are so allergic to land meats that if they eat it they're sick for days, and a number of my friends also are allergic to shelf fish and sea animals. Others live in areas where meat is way more expensive than non meat foods. Believe me, I love meat and I will continue to eat it for multiple reasons, but these videos are genuinely helpful to people who can't eat meat no matter how much they love it. They're helpful to me as a chef, cooking for people who can't eat meat even if they wish they could. Vegetarianism and veganism isn't a choice for everyone, unfortunately, and it's important not to discourage someone who is working hard to make life a little better for the people who wish they could have meat. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm Mark. I appreciate it.

I bought the dried Lion's Mane through Amazon.. it was labeled under it's scientific name of Hericium Erinaceus. I hope this helps. 😋 👩🏻‍🍳+🍄=(🥩 🚫). I have been fretting, trying to figure out ways of using the dried Lion's Mane. ,.. And now I know. 🤭😋.. Yay!, Thanks Mark! 😁😋

Tell them! Steak doesn't have to be animal carcass!

Thanks for mentioning Guga, Mark.

Amazing, thanks for all the experiments and videos.

Definitely making this. Just have to get all of the ingredients. Thanks for sharing!!!!

They look so good... Plus, I loved the way you described them. 👍

Keep it up!! I really Love your work!

I really appreciate that you found the “irony taste.” I’ve been looking for the taste if irony for years.

That looks so delicious!! Well done Man.

Thank you for providing such recipes.

Mark, you kill me! I get such a kick out of your passion and talent! That looked super good!! I think I can get Lion's Mane mushrooms here at Whole Foods. Thank you for your awesome experiments that always seem to turn out so good! Brilliant!! 😉👍

I just need you for my personal chef.. Mission Accomplished 🤣

I’m over here drooling 🤤 looks amazing I’m hoping to find that mushroom.

Holy moly!! This was such a fun recipe. It was like science class in the kitchen! This steak, with the appearance, taste and mouth feel mimicked sirloin almost too much for my plant based palate. Love the channel and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

LOL! Imagine all those people saying, "You can't call it steak" but ignoring peanut butter or coconut milk or anything with the word "fingers" like "chicken fingers". **eye roll**

Oh dang, this looks good! (and super easy) -- also you reading out the definition of steak was cracking me up. If I can ever find a good source on these I might have to make them up. Any idea if the bacon recipe from last week can be adapted to dried and yield a similar texture? I have a feeling that dried might be easier to source (for those of us a little too afraid to grow them ourselves).

These looks delicious Mark! I have several lion's mane blocks about to go into fruiting so I'll be havin lots of dried lion"s mane to play around with soon. I'm excited to give this method a try! Thank you very mush! I love these mushroom vids you do 😀✌

The end result on these - amazing! I think that visually the "pork belly" was more effective because of the color BUT texture-wise and considering the flavours you added here I would probably love it much more :D A perfect centerpiece to a classic steak dinner! . Keep the experiments coming Mark - we all love them as much as you do :D Have a wonderful end of the week!

I love the Good Eats style fridge shot!!

Look at you Mark with the Joshua Weissman camera moves!!! Amazing video as always!!!

Damn, this looks interesting! Will definitely try to get some Lionsmane mushrooms. Unfortunately not that easy, like 95% of the people that sell these seem to market them as magic vital healing mushrooms and want like 100€/kg which is a bit much 😅 Especially these big ones seem to be rare, all that I see online are like 1cm in diameter which is a bit pitiful for a steak :D

I will definitely try this

Imagine Guga foods seeing this would love a colab

nice explanation about meat and mushroom

Love this video Mark, which make is the needle tenderizer?

That looked soooo delicious ! I hope I can find all these products here in Italy so I can try it toooo!!!! 🙏🙏 oh ps . Remember not to give any attention to the hate comments … they don’t really matter ! 🔝♥️💪🏼

Glad I found your channel. I need to get my hands on some lion mane mushrooms.

Hi, I really enjoy your videos! Could you make a video on how to make tvp at home, if that is possible! I'll be looking forward to it! Keep on making those amazing videos!

Awesome, will try

I’m not vegan, yet I keep coming back

Don't worry about the haters! I love your videos! I think it's so cool to see your inventiveness and the whole process of experimentation you do.

I’m so glad I found you forget when lol. Your vdo’s impress me ALL OF THEM! I save all your vdo’s and share with others.

I love the fridge scene so much :D

Enjoyed watching this video 👍

In a couple years you'll be so good at this you'll create something that's even meatier than meat, if that's even possible!

That POV fridge shot reminded me of the show Good Eats 😂 This looks so good def would make this!! 🖤

I see you also enjoy Adam Ragusea hahaha. Season your __ not your ____ This is a very cool way to prepare dried mushrooms. I bet this would work sooo well for shiitake tips too!

the lions mane has a fuzzy outer texture, could you fill the space between the "hairs" with gluten powder, and let it autolyze into a more meaty outer skin?

9:43 i would like to see some airfryer recipies. 🙂

Ahh thanks for that definition!!!!!

Love your work bro 🙏💚🧙‍♂️

Awesome.

Love how beautiful it looks! Too bad I can't find this shroom here!

Mushrooms for the win and Webster to the rescue… neat 😂

Now i have ti look in Italy this mushroom! 🤯

Lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

this is some next level stuff

lmaoo once he started seasoning with the usual stuff.. I immediately thought of Guga Foods too 😂

You are brilliant!

It would be great to see a video on the food science of a mushroom, and why they are so 'meaty'.

Hi @Sauce Stache! Where can we get the tofu press you used in this video? It's not on your Amazon store. Anybody knows?

Methylcellulose is really hard to find. What's a good replacement?

Could you use other types of mushrooms?

I would love to cook with lion’s mane mushrooms, whether as a meat substitute or just as a dish in its own right (mushrooms are so tasty!) but I can’t find them just as mushrooms for culinary use. I can only find them as health supplements - capsules and so on.

I want to grow some lions main and other mushrooms so badly

Have you concidered staining the marinade with beetroot powder to dye the mushrooms a bit?

I love this channel and how creative you are. Can we get a 'lazy' series for newbs tho? And for us with average US kitchen staples. Haha

Any recommendations for using fresh lion's mane? Btw, made the lion's mane crab cakes for a dinner party and no one could tell it wasn't crab until I told them lol.

I loved the back of the fridge shot 😎

I just ordered some Lions Mane. I'm all in.

What if I have fresh Lions Manes? What would be the difference in preparing them compared to the process in the video ? Thank you in advance

What kind of blender do you use

I really want to know if u are able to get rid of the bitterness of this mushroom this way

Can you use fresh mushrooms instead?

I could eat mushrooms at every meal I love them

I lucked out and found a HUGE lion's mane in the wild. I'd like to try this recipe but am wondering about what adjustments might need to be made when using fresh mushroom versus dried, I expect that the texture will be different as well as the mushroom's ability to absorb the marinade....any suggestions?

Where did you purchase the whole lion's mane?

great stuff Mark, extra kudos for the Josh Weissman moment at 05:15!

Really interesting, the way it's looked on camera made me think of a fish steak Don't know if you already try that but how about: Making a "ground beef" like preparation out (various) mushrooms (and maybe various size cuts?) without mvp or anything alike but cooked sousvide I'm wondering if the sousvide can "force" a meaty effect 🤔

Lmao I love the reading of the definition of steak 🤣 you're great I love your channel

Really nice Video! Id love to try all your recipes but most of the ingredients are not available in my town :(. Greetings from Germany :D

Since Lion has similar fibers to muscle meats, have you tried cutting a large lion ‘on the bias’??

How could I use small bell mushrooms to make such a steak ? Any way to make small mushrooms "stick" together to make a whole steak ?

Hey you should make something out of beefsteak polypore, it looks almost exactly like marbled steak. I think some people make mushroom jerky with it.

So I tried two LM recipes (one was based on your original steak attempt, another was the 'crab'-cake). While visually both came out great (and crab-cake even had the smell of a sea-food patty before cooking) I ran into an issue with how 'tough' these mushrooms can be in parts (even with pressing and being torn into shreds for crab-cake), almost impossible to chew the center parts. Is this common or I was just unlucky with the mushrooms I got (they were bought dried).

Have you used the dried ones to make the steak?

I found an online retailer for mushrooms. I was surprised by the price, but then I remembered that dried mushrooms are very light weight, so 16 ounces is probably a lot of mushrooms. How many servings do you think is in 16 ounces of dried mushrooms?

The most impressive thing about this video is that FORK you are using. I'm looking for that same style of fork which I find is the most perfect design for cutlery. which is its long straight thick handles and curved fork end.

went to your store to order that mushroom season and its not on your store?

The camera angles remind me of Raw Vegan Not Gross. Especially the leaning on the counter hahaha. Love it

Have you tried using Shiitake Mushroom's stems? In my country, shiitake's stems often used as the main ingredient for meat substitutes as their texture is very similiar to meat fiber (if you shred it)

How many ingredients are in your steak?

You started filming Ethan Chlebowski style, I see you. Love the butter shot :)

Hee hee Guga works magic. I watch his sous vide everything. I love your videos my favorite for all things vegan. My son is vegan serving in the Air Force I want to be able to fix stuff for him.

Caught that nod to Alton Brown with the fridge camera POV 😊

Man you channel is underrated! I swear i thought this video has milion of views

Thank you for posting the steak Definition 😁

Adding a camera inside the fridge is a nice aesthetic touch. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching Alton Brown's son who turned vegan!

Yup, there's my next meal plan. 😁👍

I really need to stop watching these when I'm hungry! Hahaha

Love the Guga shoutout :P
