Sauteed Mushrooms
Description
Add Sauteed Mushrooms to your go-to side dish list. They cook quickly, taste buttery, herby, and garlicky (a.k.a. DELISH), and have total steakhouse vibes that will make you feel fancy when you serve them.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby bella (cremini) mushrooms or a mix of baby bella, shiitake, oyster, and/or other wild mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar plus additional to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 6 cloves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for serving
Directions
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping off any dirt with a paper towel or brush it away with a clean sponge. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, add the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and simmering, add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, release their juices, and most of the juices cook away, about 8 to 10 minutes (if you have a lot of water in the pan, feel free to drain it off to speed up the process). Stir in soy sauce and vinegar, then stir in the garlic. Let cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley or thyme. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Serve hot, with a sprinkle of extra herbs.
