Make rich, savory mushrooms sautéed in garlic butter with fresh herbs. This easy recipe delivers classic steakhouse flavor perfect as a side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 30 g unsalted butter, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 ml fresh thyme leaves
  • 15 ml fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 ml salt
  • 1 ml black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer, avoiding crowding the pan. Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms brown on the bottom.
  3. Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking until they release their moisture and start to brown deeply, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add half of the butter (15g) to the skillet. Let it melt and coat the mushrooms.
  5. Add the minced garlic and thyme to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  6. Add the remaining butter (15g). Stir everything together until the butter melts and forms a rich sauce around the mushrooms.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the garlic butter mushrooms immediately as a perfect steakhouse side dish.

Notes

  • For the best sear, cook the mushrooms in batches if your pan is too small. Do not stir them until the first side is deeply browned.
  • If you want a tangier flavor, add a small splash of dry white wine or lemon juice after the garlic cooks, letting it reduce before adding the final butter.
  • This recipe works well with almost any mushroom variety, including oyster or shiitake.
