• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Clean the Portobello mushrooms and slice them into 1/2 inch thick strips.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and olive oil to create the marinade.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
