Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce (like Gravy Master), optional
- Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Meticulously clean mushrooms using a soft, damp cloth, removing any dried stem edges to ensure pristine presentation.
- Select a medium skillet and heat over medium flame, introducing olive oil and a portion of butter until it transforms into a silky liquid.
- Carefully arrange mushrooms in a single uniform layer, creating space between each to guarantee optimal caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Sprinkle kosher salt across mushrooms and allow them to develop a rich golden crust without disturbance, approximately three minutes.
- Combine paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder in a separate container to create a robust spice blend.
- Introduce minced garlic and prepared spice mixture to the skillet, stirring vigorously to distribute seasonings and release aromatic compounds.
- Optional: Incorporate browning sauce to enhance color and introduce subtle caramelized undertones, cooking for an additional brief moment.
- Drizzle Worcestershire and soy sauces over mushrooms, allowing liquid to reduce and deeply infuse each mushroom with complex flavor profiles.
- Finish by incorporating remaining butter, creating a glossy, luxurious coating that elevates the mushrooms’ overall texture and appearance.
- Garnish with freshly chopped chives, providing a vibrant visual and herbaceous accent just before serving.
Notes
- Choose firm, fresh mushrooms with no soft spots or blemishes for the best texture and flavor.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to achieve an even, golden sear on the mushrooms.
- Pat mushrooms completely dry before cooking to prevent steaming and ensure proper caramelization.
- Adjust spice blend to personal taste preferences or dietary restrictions by reducing salt or using low-sodium alternatives.
- For a vegetarian version, replace Worcestershire sauce with tamari or mushroom-based umami sauce.
- Let mushrooms cook undisturbed initially to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust and rich flavor.
