This quick and flavorful recipe brings out the natural earthiness of mushrooms with a deliciously buttery and aromatic finish, perfect alongside steak, grilled meats, or as a hearty appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme, parsley, or rosemary), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Begin by cleaning the mushrooms thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Heat the Butter: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it becomes foamy and starts to brown lightly, which will enhance its nutty flavor.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and release their moisture, about 8-10 minutes. The mushrooms should be nicely browned.
  5. Add Worcestershire Sauce and Herbs: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and fresh herbs. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  6. Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately as a hearty side or topping.

Notes

  • Use a mix of wild mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello for added depth of flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
  • To make this vegan, substitute butter with olive oil and omit Worcestershire sauce or use a vegan alternative.
  • Serve these mushrooms over toasted bread, steaks, or as a savory addition to pasta dishes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
