Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
Butter and Oil:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm a spacious cast-iron skillet on medium heat, creating a perfect sizzling environment for the mushrooms.
- Melt olive oil and butter together, creating a luxurious golden base that will infuse rich flavor into the mushrooms.
- Introduce minced garlic to the shimmering fat, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the cooking surface for approximately 60 seconds.
- Gently tumble mushrooms into the skillet, ensuring each piece gets thoroughly coated with the fragrant garlic butter mixture.
- Enhance the mushroom’s depth by drizzling soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle thyme, salt, and freshly cracked pepper across the surface.
- Allow mushrooms to transform, stirring intermittently, for 8-10 minutes until they develop a gorgeous golden-brown exterior and reach a tender, succulent consistency.
- Extract skillet from heat and shower the glistening mushrooms with finely chopped fresh parsley, adding a vibrant finishing touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- Elevate flavor intensity by using a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake, cremini, and oyster for complex, rich taste profiles.
- Prevent mushroom wateriness by patting them dry with paper towels before cooking, ensuring perfect caramelization and golden-brown edges.
- Create a low-carb or keto-friendly version by replacing soy sauce with coconut aminos and using grass-fed butter for added nutritional benefits.
- Maximize umami depth by letting mushrooms sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes during cooking, allowing natural sugars to develop a beautiful, deep-brown crust.
