Portobello Mushroom Steaks with Chimichurri

A delicious vegetarian dish with a punchy Latin American sauce! For anyone who doesn't eat meat — or just loves variety — I suggest pan-searing mushroom "steaks." Big portobello caps turn out wonderfully, and with chimichurri, a sauce beloved across Latin America, they're downright heavenly. Highly recommend!
