How to make Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions

This is a summary version; for the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please refer to the recipe card below.

1. Melt the butter and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or pan. Stir in the Worcestershire Sauce.
2. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Toss in the onions and cook until the edges brown and become translucent.
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic.
4. Salt and Pepper to taste; if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or thyme.

Preparation Tips

• To clean mushrooms, wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove the dirt, and dry them well with a paper towel.
• Do not burn the melted butter. The key is to stay close by and have everything prepped and ready to go.
• Cook mushrooms over medium-high heat. They release a lot of moisture, so to brown properly, they must be cooked over fairly high heat and stirred frequently to prevent burning.
• For optimal flavor, add the garlic during the last minute of cooking. Reduce the heat to low and stir frequently. Garlic burns easily and tastes bitter when it burns.
• Top with fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
