Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb mushrooms (any variety; cut big ones in half)
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chopped parsley or other herbs (for garnish)
Optional Flavoring (choose one)
- 1½ Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- OR 1½ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- OR 1½ Tablespoons soy sauce
- OR 1½ Tablespoons white wine
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Wash and prep the mushrooms, cutting any large mushrooms in half so they are relatively the same size for even cooking.
- Dry Sauté Mushrooms: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms in a single layer without any oil or butter. Stir occasionally and cook until they release their liquid, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Evaporate Liquid: Drain the mushroom liquid or let it reduce until evaporated to concentrate the umami flavor and allow for a golden brown sear.
- Add Butter, Oil, Garlic & Flavoring: Add avocado oil, butter, minced garlic, and your chosen optional flavoring to the pan. Continue sautéing for another 3 to 4 minutes until mushrooms turn golden brown.
- Season and Garnish: Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
- Dry sautéing means cooking without added fat initially, which helps mushrooms release moisture for a better sear.
- Any mushroom variety works well, including crimini, button, oyster, chanterelle, porcini, or shiitake.
- Choose ONE flavoring option to complement the mushrooms without overwhelming the natural flavor.
