Quick and Easy Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic Butter

What’s the Best Mushroom Variety to Use for Cooking? 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 chanterelle or mushrooms or morels, they’re fabulous, too.

How to Make the BEST Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic Butter: Baby portabella and cremini mushrooms, butter, olive oil, minced garlic, shallot or red onion, beef stock or red wine, teriyaki sauce or soy sauce, salt, fresh thyme and black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A sharp knife and chopping board, large skillet, measuring cups and spoons, large slotted spoon and plate or platter.
  • You should never submerge mushrooms in water. They’re like sponges and will absorb too much liquid which in essence, will ruin them. To clean them, brush them with a vegetable brush or using a clean lint free kitchen towel.
  • It’s best to sauté mushrooms in a single layer in a hot skillet 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 beef stock, red wine or white wine if that’s your preference.
  • If you’d like, you could replace the thyme another fresh herb such as rosemary or tarragon. Adjust the amount called for specific to the flavor or the alternate herb chosen.
  • In the next section, I’ll show you some entrees from the recipe index to serve with these garlic butter mushrooms. They can also be served as a topping over polenta, added to eggs or omelets, pizza, grits or creamy risotto.
  • Store cooked Sauteed Mushrooms chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
