Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 lb white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms evenly and finely mince the garlic to ensure quick, even cooking and flavor dispersion.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Wait until the butter starts to foam slightly, which signifies it has reached the right temperature for sautéing.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir gently to coat them in the butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to brown and release their juices, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic to keep its flavor fresh and aromatic.
  5. Season and Sauce: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mushrooms. Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, soy sauce, and if using, balsamic vinegar and smoked paprika. Stir well to evenly coat the mushrooms and let the sauce reduce slightly, enhancing the rich flavor.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat once the mushrooms are fully cooked and richly coated in sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious side or topping.

Notes

  • Use either white or cremini mushrooms; cremini offer a deeper earthy flavor.
  • Optional smoked paprika and balsamic vinegar add complexity and can be adjusted to taste.
  • Adjust salt carefully; soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce add saltiness.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with steak, grilled chicken, or as a topping for toasted bread or pasta.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use a vegan Worcestershire sauce alternative.
