Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb baby bella mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep the mushrooms: Wipe mushrooms clean gently with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt and trim the stems if they seem dry or tough.
  2. Melt the butter: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
  3. Sauté the garlic: Add minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned, releasing its aroma into the butter.
  4. Cook the mushrooms: Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned on the outside and tender inside.
  5. Add sauces and seasoning: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and freshly cracked black pepper to coat the mushrooms evenly.
  6. Simmer to thicken sauce: Allow the mushrooms to simmer for 2-3 more minutes in the sauce until it thickens slightly, intensifying the flavors.
  7. Finish with parsley and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms for a burst of color and freshness, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan for even cooking.
  • Adjust black pepper according to taste preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and omit Worcestershire sauce or use a vegan version.
  • Serve alongside grilled meats, steak, or as a flavorful side for any dinner.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
