Teriyaki Mushroom and Green Bean DE-Lite

Eat the mushrooms alone or complemented with the green beans...either way is YUMMY..  I could imagine that if I ate steak, this would be a perfect side dish.  You CAN make it with only white button mushrooms, but even better would be a mixture of oyster, crimini, and white mushrooms..especially if you eat the mushrooms straight.  And I know that it seems odd to use STEAK seasoning, but it is only a mixture of red pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper).

2 lb mushrooms, coarsely chopped

1/4 teriyaki sauce (I strongly suggest Veri, Veri Teriyaki) plus 1/8 cup more sauce

2 TSBP olive oil plus 1 TBSP more

1 bunch of scallions, chopped in 2 inch pieces 

2 TSBP steak grill seasoning

1 lb trimmed green beans

2 tsp garlic, minced

Salt and Pepper to taste

Put a large pot on the stove for your green beans with water to boil.  

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, mix the 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce with the mushrooms.  Pour the mixture onto an edged cookie sheet, and toss in scallions, vegetable oil, and steak seasoning.  Toss this all together to coat well.  Put this in the oven for 20 minutes.

Once the water is at a rolling boil, liberally salt the water and add the green beans.  Blanch the beans for 4-5 minutes, or until they are crisp to taste.  In a separate pan, saute the oil and garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds or so.  Add the green beans the MOMENT that you remove them from the boiling water.  To this, add an additional 1/8 cup of the teriyaki sauce and salt and pepper to taste.  Once it tastes yummy, add the cooked mushrooms.  Don't be alarmed...it is a lot of mushrooms to green beans, but it is supposed to be like this! Mix and serve!
