Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Button mushrooms
Button mushrooms are ideal for this recipe because they absorb flavor well and maintain a tender yet meaty texture when cooked.

Butter
Butter creates the rich base of the sauce and gives the mushrooms their signature steakhouse-style flavor.

Olive oil
Olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning and ensures even cooking.

Garlic
Garlic adds aromatic depth and enhances the savory character of the dish.

Beef broth
Beef broth adds umami and richness, giving the mushrooms a hearty, savory backbone.

Worcestershire sauce
Worcestershire sauce contributes tangy depth and complexity to the sauce.

Soy sauce
Soy sauce boosts umami and balances the butter with a salty finish.

Black pepper
Black pepper adds mild heat and contrast to the rich sauce.

Salt
Salt enhances the natural mushroom flavor and ties all ingredients together.

Fresh parsley
Fresh parsley adds color and a touch of freshness to finish the dish.

Directions

Begin by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slicing them evenly. Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms in a single layer.

Allow the mushrooms to cook undisturbed for a few minutes so they can brown properly. Stir and continue cooking until they release their moisture and become tender. Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer gently until the liquid reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms in a glossy sauce. Season with black pepper and adjust salt as needed.

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

For a creamier finish, stir in a small splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking. You can also add fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a more aromatic profile.
