¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

For steaks
Place marinade ingredients in a plastic bag and shake to blend. Add mushrooms, coat with marinade, and refrigerate for one hour. Grill mushrooms directly on hot grill for a few minutes on each side.
