Description
These Sautéed Mushrooms are deeply savory, golden brown, and bursting with umami flavor. Perfect as a steak topping, burger enhancer, or simple side dish.
Ingredients
1 lb cremini or white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce or balsamic vinegar (optional, for depth)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms in a single layer. Let them sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
3. Stir and continue cooking for 6–8 minutes, allowing moisture to evaporate and mushrooms to brown.
4. Add garlic and thyme, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Optional: Add soy sauce or balsamic vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan; mushrooms need space to brown.
Use a mix of mushrooms for variety (e.g., shiitake, oyster, portobello).
Perfect on toast, in omelets, or over grilled meats.
