Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or a mix)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons white wine (or broth)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
-
Cook Mushrooms:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Aromatics:
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the mushrooms are golden.
-
Deglaze:
- Add the white wine (or broth) to the pan to deglaze, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mix well to combine.
-
Finish:
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley. Stir until the butter is melted and the mushrooms are glossy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Be sure to use a large pan, as overcrowding the mushrooms will cause them to steam rather than brown.
- Golden Sear: Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the pan for a minute or two before stirring for a golden-brown sear.
- Season Early: Add salt early to draw out moisture from the mushrooms, but be sure to taste before adjusting seasoning at the end.
