Make rich, savory garlic butter mushrooms in your skillet. This quick recipe delivers the classic steakhouse side dish flavor using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Wait until the butter melts and foams slightly.
  3. Sear the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the hot pan in a single layer if possible. Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  4. Sauté: Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
  5. Add aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Season: Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds more.
  7. Finish: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve immediately as a perfect steak topper or easy mushroom side dish.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, use brown butter by cooking the butter until the milk solids toast and turn nutty brown before adding the garlic.
  • If you want restaurant-style mushrooms, do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to achieve a good sear.
  • Add 1/4 cup of sliced onion with the mushrooms for an extra layer of savory flavor.
