Steakhouse Garlic Butter Mushrooms
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) white button mushrooms
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, divided
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon browning sauce (optional, like Gravy Master)
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Meticulously wash and trim mushrooms, removing any dried or damaged stem sections to ensure a pristine cooking surface.
- Place a medium skillet over medium heat, introducing olive oil and a portion of butter to create a rich, flavorful base for sautéing.
- Gently add mushrooms to the heated skillet, sprinkling kosher salt across the surface. Allow mushrooms to rest undisturbed for approximately 3 minutes, enabling natural juice release and initial caramelization.
- Craft a vibrant spice blend by combining paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder in a small mixing bowl.
- Introduce minced garlic and the prepared spice mixture to the mushrooms, stirring thoroughly to distribute flavors and enhance aromatic intensity.
- Optional: Incorporate browning sauce to deepen color and introduce a subtle caramelized sweetness, gently coating mushrooms while reducing liquid.
- Enhance umami profile by adding Worcestershire and soy sauces, allowing mushrooms to absorb these complex flavor elements during a 2-3 minute reduction process.
- Complete the dish by melting the remaining butter into the skillet, creating a luxurious, glossy finish that binds all ingredients together.
- Elevate presentation by scattering freshly chopped chives over the mushrooms, then serve immediately as a complementary side or versatile topping for various proteins.
Notes
- Thoroughly clean mushrooms to remove any dirt or debris, ensuring a pristine base for the rich, steakhouse-style flavor profile.
- Use medium heat when sautéing to develop a perfect golden-brown exterior without burning the delicate mushrooms.
- Create a custom spice blend that elevates the mushrooms with layers of complexity, combining paprika, oregano, and other aromatic seasonings.
- Maximize umami flavors by incorporating Worcestershire and soy sauces, which provide depth and a subtle tangy richness.
- Optional browning sauce adds a beautiful caramelized color and introduces a gentle sweetness to complement the savory mushroom texture.
- Finish with fresh chives for a bright, herbal garnish that cuts through the rich butter and adds a pop of color and freshness.
