These garlic butter steakhouse mushrooms are a quick, easy, and irresistibly savory side dish, featuring golden-brown mushrooms sautéed with garlic, herbs, and a splash of Worcestershire. Perfect for steak night or any meal that needs a restaurant-quality upgrade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 4 large cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp (10ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (5ml) soy sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel or rinse briefly and dry thoroughly. Trim stems if needed. Quarter baby bella mushrooms.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wait until the butter is melted and starts to foam, about 1 minute.
  3. Add all the mushrooms in a single layer. Do not stir for the first 3-4 minutes to allow them to brown.
  4. Sprinkle mushrooms with kosher salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir gently and cook another 3-4 minutes, until mushrooms are deeply golden and reduced in size.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Sauté 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  6. Pour in Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce (if using). Stir for 1 minute to coat mushrooms evenly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. (Optional: Add a splash of dry white wine and let it cook off for 30 seconds.)
  7. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, add more fresh thyme or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

For best browning, do not overcrowd the pan and let mushrooms sit undisturbed before stirring. Pat mushrooms dry before cooking to avoid sogginess. Swap herbs or add a splash of white wine for variations. For vegan or dairy-free, use vegan butter or all olive oil. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
