Make rich, savory garlic butter mushrooms that taste like they came from a high-end steakhouse. This easy mushroom side dish cooks in one skillet in under 15 minutes, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice them into uniform pieces. Set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Wait until the butter melts and begins to foam slightly.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet in a single layer if possible. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Cook the mushrooms without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown on the bottom. Stir them and continue cooking until they are golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the empty space.
  6. Cook the garlic in the butter for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  7. Stir the garlic butter mixture into the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavor.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately as a best side dish for steak or chicken.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor boost, add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce when you add the garlic.
  • If you prefer roasted mushrooms, you can bake these ingredients at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes instead of sautéing.
  • Use baby bella (cremini) mushrooms for the best texture and umami rich mushroom side flavor.
