🧾 Ingredients

  • 2 cups mushrooms (button, cremini, or sliced portobello)

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • ½ tsp thyme or Italian seasoning

    • Splash of balsamic vinegar

    • Red pepper flakes (for heat)


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat the pan

    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Add olive oil or butter.

  2. Cook the onions

    • Add sliced onions and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden.

  3. Add mushrooms

    • Add mushrooms to the pan.

    • Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.

  4. Season

    • Add salt, pepper, garlic, and soy/Worcestershire if using.

    • Stir well and cook 1–2 more minutes.

  5. Finish

    • Add herbs, balsamic, or chili flakes if desired.

    • Taste and adjust seasoning.

  6. Serve

    • Serve hot as a side, over steak, chicken, burgers, rice, pasta, or toast.


🔥 Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—mushrooms need space to brown.

  • For deeper flavor, let mushrooms sit undisturbed for 1–2 minutes before stirring.

  • Butter + olive oil together = best flavor and browning.
