Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful side dish featuring tender mushrooms sautéed in garlic butter with fresh herbs. Perfect for pairing with steak, toast, or as a savory addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 small shallot, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms about 1/4 inch thick, wiping with a damp cloth to remove dirt without rinsing.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil plus 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt until foamy but not browned, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Stir and flip mushrooms, cooking another 4-5 minutes until they release moisture and become tender but still hold shape.
  5. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves; stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden, avoiding burning.
  6. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to coat mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming; cook mushrooms in batches if necessary. Add butter near the end to prevent burning. Use fresh herbs at the end for brightness. Reheat leftovers gently on stovetop to maintain texture.
