Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Aromatics

  • 1 lb baby bella mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces and Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Clean the Mushrooms: Wipe the baby bella mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if they appear dry or tough.
  2. Melt the Butter: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it starts to bubble gently.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to release its aroma.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender, releasing their moisture.
  5. Add Sauces and Seasoning: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the mushrooms evenly with the sauce.
  6. Simmer to Thicken Sauce: Let the mushrooms simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and concentrate the flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms. Serve while hot as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust black pepper to your taste preference.
  • Can be served as a side dish for steaks, burgers, or grilled vegetables.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use a vegan Worcestershire sauce alternative.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the pan to allow proper browning of mushrooms.
