Make rich, savory garlic butter mushrooms in one pan. This quick skillet recipe delivers steakhouse flavor in under 15 minutes, perfect for a simple side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Wipe mushrooms clean and slice them evenly. Set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Wait until the butter melts and begins to foam.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Sauté the mushrooms without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown. Stir them and continue cooking until they are well-browned, about 5 more minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the empty space.
  6. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring the garlic into the butter.
  7. Stir the mushrooms into the garlic butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the sauce.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, if using.
  9. Transfer the garlic butter mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately as a quick side dish or appetizer.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce along with the garlic.
  • Use high heat initially to brown the mushrooms quickly before adding the butter and garlic. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • This recipe works well with baby bella mushrooms for a more intense, earthy taste.
