These simple Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic Butter are a delicious embellishment for steak, chicken and pork. Mushrooms are also spectacular served as a topping over polenta, pizza, grits or creamy risotto.
Simple Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic Butter
Sauteed mushrooms are a constant on the menus at steakhouse restaurants nationwide. I might add, they’re frequently on our menu too. Whether I’m using them alongside our warm weather grilling favorites or adding them to my skillet fried chicken with bacon, onion and mushroom gravy.
What’s the Best Mushroom Variety to Use?
The short answer is, you should use your favorite variety or a combination of your favorites. For this recipe I used baby portabella and shiitake mushrooms, which are always readily available at our grocery store. Porcini mushrooms are another favorite and when I can get my hands on chantarelle or mushrooms or morels, they’re fabulous, too.

Mushroom Making Tips
- You should never submerge mushrooms in water. They’re like sponges and will absorb too much liquid which in essence, will ruin them.
- It’s best to saute mushrooms in a single layer to allow them time to brown on one side before turning. If you fill the skillet, they tend to steam when liquid is released.
- Depending on your personal preference, you can deglaze the pan with either white wine, red wine or broth.
- Enjoy these mushrooms with garlic butter steak bites, juicy baked chicken breasts, chili rubbed skirt steak or chili rubbed pork loin roast to name just a few options.
