Ingredients:

1 pound of whole mushrooms (cremini or button mushrooms work well)

3 tablespoons of unsalted butter

4 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley

Optional: 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions:

Prepare the Mushrooms:

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly and drying them well. If the mushrooms are large, you can halve or quarter them for more even cooking.

Sauté the Mushrooms:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Add the mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes to let them brown on one side.

Stir the mushrooms and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender.

Add the Garlic and Seasonings:

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the mushrooms are well coated.

Finish with Butter and Herbs:

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and stir until melted and well incorporated into the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the chopped parsley and dried thyme or rosemary if using, cooking for another minute.

Serve the Mushrooms:

Transfer the garlic butter mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main courses, such as steak, chicken, or pasta.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Mushrooms:

High Heat: Sautéing the mushrooms over high heat helps them brown nicely without becoming too watery.

Don’t Overcrowd: Cook the mushrooms in a single layer to ensure even browning. If necessary, cook in batches.

Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor. Be careful not to burn it as it can turn bitter.

Enjoying Your Garlic Butter Mushrooms:

These garlic butter mushrooms make a versatile side dish that complements a wide range of meals.

They can also be used as a topping for steak, mixed into pasta, or served over toasted bread for a tasty appetizer.
