Superb Sautéed Mushrooms
These savory sautéed mushrooms are the perfect finishing touch for steaks, adding rich, buttery flavor to every bite. They're also fantastic spooned over baked potatoes. Everyone who tries them asks for the recipe—even years later—which says everything about just how delicious they are.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 lb button mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 1 tbsp red cooking wine
- 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves fresh garlic thinly sliced
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly cracked
Instructions
- Gather and prep all ingredients — clean and slice mushrooms, and thinly slice fresh garlic cloves.
- Heat olive oil and butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted and lightly foaming.
- Add the mushrooms, red cooking wine, teriyaki sauce, sliced garlic, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook while stirring occasionally until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and let the mushrooms simmer until fully tender and deeply flavorful, about 5 to 8 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan — if needed, cook mushrooms in two batches so they brown rather than steam.
- Fresh garlic is key — it delivers a bolder, more aromatic flavor than garlic powder alone.
- Hold the salt — the teriyaki sauce brings enough saltiness on its own; taste before adding any extra.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat. Freeze for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe bag.
- Make it your own — cremini, baby bella, or shiitake mushrooms all work beautifully in place of button mushrooms.
