Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g mushrooms (cremini or button), wiped clean and sliced
- 15 ml olive oil
- 45 g butter, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice them evenly. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil and half of the butter (22.5g) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they brown on one side.
- Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking until they release their moisture and start to turn golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining butter (22.5g), minced garlic, and dried thyme to the skillet.
- Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is melted and bubbly. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve immediately as a perfect steakhouse side dish.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, use brown butter by cooking the butter until the milk solids toast before adding the garlic.
- If you want to include onions, add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced yellow onion with the mushrooms in step 3.
- This recipe works well with a variety of mushrooms like cremini, white button, or a mix.
