Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 2 pounds white button mushrooms, cleaned (about 2 packages, 16 ounces each)
Cowboy Butter
- Cowboy butter recipe, doubled (butter blended with garlic, herbs, lemon juice, and spices)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Add Butter to Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the doubled portion of cowboy butter. Allow the butter to melt completely to release its flavors.
- Add Mushrooms: Once the butter has melted, add the cleaned white button mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them gently to coat them evenly with the butter.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Continue cooking the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure they brown evenly and absorb the flavors from the cowboy butter.
- Sauté Until Tender: Cook the mushrooms for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until they become tender and develop a golden color. This slow cooking process helps intensify their rich, earthy flavor.
- Season and Serve: Season the cooked mushrooms with salt to taste, stir well, then remove from heat. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or topping.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm white button mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- The cowboy butter adds a robust, herby flavor that can be adjusted to taste by modifying herbs and spices in the butter recipe.
- Make sure to stir occasionally to avoid mushrooms sticking or burning on the skillet.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a topping for steaks and burgers.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and ensure seasonings comply.
