Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 pound white button mushrooms, cleaned and thickly sliced
Cooking Fats
- 4 tablespoons butter (preferably unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Flavorings and Spices
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional, for mild heat)
- Salt, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Sauté for about 3 minutes without stirring to achieve a golden sear on the mushrooms.
- Add Garlic and Spices: Stir the mushrooms and add the finely minced garlic, dried oregano, dried tarragon, paprika, freshly ground black pepper, and chili powder if using. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the spices are well incorporated.
- Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, stirring well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 more minutes to allow the mushrooms to absorb the savory flavors.
- Finish with Butter: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter melts completely and coats the mushrooms, giving them a rich, glossy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Taste the mushrooms and adjust the salt if needed. Transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, firm white button mushrooms.
- Do not stir the mushrooms in the first few minutes to ensure a nice golden sear.
- Chili powder is optional and adds a subtle heat; omit if you prefer mild flavors.
- Unsalted butter is recommended to better control the salt levels.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steaks, grilled meats, or as a flavorful side to any meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
