Whether you’re making Asian Marinated Flank Steak or Portobello Mushroom Caps, the flavor comes from the marinade. I like to use this versatile marinade with both dishes. The combination of flavors in the marinade and smokiness from the grill brings out the best in both the steak and the mushrooms.

I decided to take advantage of their bright antioxidant-rich color and mix in a flavorful hummus.
