Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ 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
Garnish and Optional Ingredient:
- ½ teaspoon browning sauce
- Fresh chives (chopped)
Instructions
- Cleanse the mushrooms delicately using a moistened cloth, carefully trimming away any tough or dried stem sections to ensure optimal texture and appearance.
- Activate a medium skillet over moderate heat, introducing olive oil and initial butter portion. Allow butter to melt completely, then strategically place mushrooms in the pan, seasoning with kosher salt. Allow mushrooms to develop a golden-brown crust undisturbed for approximately 3 minutes.
- Craft a flavor-enhancing spice blend by combining paprika, onion powder, oregano, tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder. Incorporate minced garlic into the mixture, then introduce the aromatic combination to the sizzling skillet. Agitate gently and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrance intensifies.
- For enhanced depth, incorporate browning sauce if desired. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to amplify color and complexity of flavors.
- Cascade Worcestershire and soy sauces into the skillet, thoroughly integrating them with the mushrooms. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to condense and concentrate the flavor profile.
- Culminate the cooking process by introducing the remaining butter, stirring until completely melted and creating a luxurious, glossy coating that envelops the mushrooms.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering freshly chopped chives across the surface, then serve immediately while warmth and flavors are at their peak.
Notes
- Select mushrooms with firm, smooth caps and no signs of bruising for the best texture and flavor.
- Avoid washing mushrooms under running water, as they absorb moisture quickly and can become soggy during cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to achieve a perfect golden sear and develop deep, rich flavors.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting heat levels or swapping chili powder with smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
- For a vegetarian version, replace Worcestershire sauce with mushroom-based umami sauce or balsamic vinegar to maintain depth of flavor.
- Let mushrooms cook undisturbed to create a beautiful caramelized exterior that locks in natural juices and enhances overall taste.
- Serve immediately while butter is still glossy to maximize the dish’s appetizing appearance and rich, savory flavor.
