Ingredients
- 1 pound white button mushrooms, cleaned and thickly sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter (preferably unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 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
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of kosher salt. Let them sauté undisturbed for about 3 minutes to develop a golden sear.
- Step 2: Stir the mushrooms and add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried tarragon, paprika, black pepper, and chili powder if using. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Step 3: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, stirring well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes to let the mushrooms absorb the flavors.
- Step 4: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter melts completely, creating a glossy finish on the mushrooms.
- Step 5: Taste and adjust salt if needed. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For extra depth, try adding a splash of dry white wine before adding the sauces to deglaze the pan.
- If you prefer a meatier texture, substitute or mix in cremini or baby bella mushrooms.
- Omit chili powder for a milder flavor or increase it slightly for more heat.
Storage
Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve their buttery texture and flavor.
