Preparation
Step 1
Chimichurri: Mix sauce ingredients (olive oil through red pepper flakes) together in a small dish.
Step 2
Potatoes: Cut potatoes into quarters and boil for 10-15 minutes until very soft. Drain and pull the skins off. Mash and mix with broth, butter, goat cheese, garlic, and salt.
Step 3
Marinade: While potatoes are cooking, brush mushrooms with a little bit of chimichurri on both sides. Marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Step 4
Mushrooms: Heat a grill pan or grill over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and grill on both sides, brushing with more chimichurri, until soft and yummy and browned up with nice grill marks.
Step 5
Done: Serve up a mushroom steak on a dollop of creamy potatoes and – you guessed it – spoon the last of your chimichurri over the top. Salt, pepper, red pepper flake it… and you’re good to go!

Chef's notes
Chimichurri is an herb sauce or table condiment originating in Argentina and Uruguay. Using cilantro in place of parsley is not traditional, but it's a summery way to mix up the flavor profile.
