    Below are the high-level instructions for this recipe, but for detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and a video, please see the recipe card below.

    • Saute Mushroom - First, grab a pan and heat it on medium-high heat. Add some oil and toss in the mushrooms. Give them a gentle sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they start to change color
    • Add Butter - Now, add some butter and give everything a good toss so the mushrooms are nice and coated
    • Stir the Garlic- Next, throw in some finely chopped garlic or garlic powder and give it all a quick stir. You'll know it's ready when it starts to smell good
    • Season - Season with some salt, chili flakes, and black pepper, and sauté for 1-2 minutes
    • Add Sauce - Now, pour in some soy sauce and red wine vinegar, and stir everything together. Keep cooking until everything is caramelized and looking delicious! This should take around 2-3 minutes
    • Garnish - To finish, sprinkle on some cilantro or coriander leaves and take the pan off the heat

    Tips

    • Cleaning - Cleaning mushrooms is an important step. To do this, use a damp kitchen tissue or mushroom brush to remove any mud and debris. Alternatively, you can wash the mushrooms, but make sure to dry them immediately afterward. If you leave water on the mushrooms, they may become soggy when sautéing
    • For Best Taste and Flavor - For the best taste and flavor, add aromatics like garlic and seasonings like soy sauce, red wine vinegar, chili flakes, and black pepper
    • Fat - Sautéing the mushrooms in both olive oil and butter adds a lot of flavors, but you can also use just one of these ingredients according to your preference
    • Temperature - Cooking the mushrooms on medium-high heat will give you the best-caramelized texture. I recommend using this temperature for the best results
    • Red Wine Vinegar - If you want a slightly sour taste, use red wine vinegar. You can also replace it with regular vinegar or add a splash of lemon juice for a zesty flavor profile
    • Mushroom - For this recipe, I have used white button mushrooms, but you can also use other fresh varieties such as brown, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms

    Storage Suggestions

    These Sauteed Mushrooms stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months! To reheat, simply thaw them in the refrigerator and then heat them in a pan on medium heat.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve this delicious Sautéed Mushroom as a side dish with classic steak, roasted chicken, baked chicken drumsticks, rice, sandwiches, or burgers. You can also serve it with roasted and baked meats such as baked chicken breast, baked chicken thighs, and oven-baked wings.

    FAQ

    What is Sauteed Mushroom?

    Sauteed Mushrooms are a savory, golden, caramelized side dish that is easy to make at home. They are typically made with fresh edible mushrooms, garlic, basic seasoning spices, and herbs. This homemade sautéed mushroom recipe is one of the best and simplest side dishes to prepare, and it pairs well with soups, steaks, pasta recipes, and other grilled, roasted, and baked meats.

    How long should mushrooms be sauteed?

    For the best taste, flavor, and texture, saute the mushrooms for 4 to 5 minutes on medium-high heat until they turn slightly brown. Additionally, adding the perfect seasoning will make the flavor pop.

    How can mushrooms be sauteed without becoming soggy?

    To avoid soggy mushrooms, it is important to clean them properly before cooking. One way to do this is by using a damp cloth rather than water to wipe off any dirt or debris. This helps to keep the mushrooms dry and prevents them from becoming soggy during the cooking process.
    Once they are cleaned, they can be sauteed on medium-high heat. This high heat allows the excess moisture to evaporate and results in a more desirable texture and appearance. Additionally, the heat helps to caramelize the mushrooms, adding a depth of flavor and a pleasant, slightly crispy exterior.

    Should mushrooms be sauteed on high heat?

    Yes, sautéing mushrooms on medium-high or high heat allows all the liquid to evaporate and delivers a caramelized brown texture to them.

    I hope you found the recipe enjoyable and I would appreciate hearing about your experience with it.
