Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (454 g) white button mushrooms
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsps (28 g) butter, divided
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 ½ tsps Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tsps soy sauce
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried tarragon
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp browning sauce (optional, like Gravy Master)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil

Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly cleanse and trim mushrooms, eliminating any withered or compromised stem portions to create an immaculate cooking foundation.
- Sautéing Base: Heat skillet on medium flame, melding olive oil and butter to establish a sumptuous cooking medium. Introduce mushrooms and sprinkle kosher salt, allowing them to rest undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to release natural juices and initiate caramelization.
- Flavor Infusion: Blend paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder in a small vessel. Incorporate minced garlic and spice mixture into the skillet, stirring vigorously to distribute aromatics and intensify flavor profile.
- Sauce Development: Drizzle browning sauce for enhanced color depth, then introduce Worcestershire and soy sauces. Simmer mixture, allowing mushrooms to absorb complex flavor nuances during a 2-3 minute reduction process.
- Finishing Touch: Melt remaining butter into the skillet, creating a glossy, luxurious coating that harmonizes all ingredients. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately as a versatile accompaniment or standalone delicacy.
Notes
- Wash Mushrooms Thoroughly: Remove any dirt, debris, and damaged stem sections to ensure clean, high-quality mushrooms for optimal cooking results.
- Patience During Sautéing: Allow mushrooms to rest undisturbed for 3 minutes, enabling natural caramelization and juice release for deeper flavor development.
- Spice Blend Mastery: Combine paprika, onion powder, oregano, tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder to create a complex, restaurant-quality seasoning profile.
- Final Flavor Boost: Finish with Worcestershire and soy sauces to enhance umami, then melt butter for a glossy, luxurious coating that elevates the entire dish.
