Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions
Like the kind of mushrooms you might enjoy in a steakhouse restaurant, try these as a side for roast chicken, steak, burgers or alone over brown rice for a vegetarian meal. If you double, use a larger pan or plan to cook them a little longer as more mushrooms give off more moisture.

Equipment
- Large fry pan or cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 8 ounces small to medium sized fresh white mushrooms
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter dairy or plant based
- ½ cup thinly sliced shallot 1 medium or about 2 ounces
- 2-3 cloves garlic finely chopped or zested
- Salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs chives, parsley, tarragon, oregano
Instructions
Prep mushrooms
- Pre-heat oven to 425° (218 C°). Trim the stems off the mushrooms. If they are dirty, rinse them quickly under a slow stream of cold water while rubbing a few mushrooms at a time in your hands. Dry mushrooms with paper towels. Quarter larger mushroom or halve small ones with a sharp knife.
Saute mushrooms
- Warm up a 10″ (25 cm) cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add shallot and cook about 1 minute until softened, then add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add mushrooms and turn the heat up to medium. Cook mushrooms until they are starting to brown at the edges and some of the moisture is released and cooked off. Seasons with a little salt and black pepper. Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Finish in the oven
- Place the pan into the oven and roast mushrooms for about 7 minutes. A double recipe (more volume) will take longer. Mushrooms should be browned and moist but not wet. Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
Notes
Variations:
- Skip the salt and balsamic and use soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free soy sauce).
- Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Add fresh thyme towards the end of sautéing before oven finishing.
