Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced thick

Butter and Oils

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Flavorings and Seasonings

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried or fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt without soaking them, which helps maintain their texture.
  2. Slice the Mushrooms: Cut the mushrooms into thick slices about 1/2 inch to help them hold their shape and develop a meaty texture when cooked.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing.
  4. Melt Butter: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom evenly.
  5. Cook Mushrooms: Arrange mushrooms in a single layer without overcrowding; cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown on both sides to encourage browning rather than steaming.
  6. Add Remaining Butter: Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt gently.
  7. Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, careful not to burn it.
  8. Add Sauces and Spices: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oregano, tarragon, paprika, black pepper, and optional chili powder. Toss well to coat the mushrooms evenly.
  9. Simmer and Season: Let the mushrooms simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors. Add salt to taste if needed.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Transfer mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while warm and glossy.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Cooking mushrooms in batches prevents overcrowding, which promotes better browning.
  • For a spicier kick, do not omit the chili powder.
  • This dish pairs well with steak, grilled meats, or can be served as a tasty side for vegetarian mains.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
