Make rich, savory garlic butter mushrooms in your skillet. This easy recipe delivers restaurant-style flavor perfect for pairing with steak or serving as a quick side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts and foams.
  3. Add the mushrooms to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Cook the mushrooms without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they brown on one side. Stir and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until they release their liquid and start to brown further.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and dried thyme to the skillet.
  6. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is melted and coats the mushrooms. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  8. Season generously with salt and black pepper to your taste.
  9. Serve immediately as a perfect side dish for steak or chicken.

Notes

  • For a deeper, nuttier flavor, brown the butter slightly before adding the garlic. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • If you want a richer sauce, add 1 tablespoon of dry white wine or beef broth after the mushrooms have browned and let it reduce before adding the butter and garlic.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms, like cremini and shiitake, for varied texture and flavor.
