Directions
1. To make the garlic butter sautéed mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Sauté the mushrooms on all sides until they turn golden brown, about 10 minutes – stirring only to turn them. Mushrooms will render some water so it can take a little longer.
3. Add grated garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper along with butter to the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes and basting the mushrooms with the sauce.
4. Remove the skillet from heat, garnish the garlic butter sautéed mushrooms with more parsley if you like. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips for the sauteed mushrooms recipe
- Keep the mushrooms dry, just brush them with a damp cloth to clean.
- We start by sautéing the mushrooms in olive oil, which has a somewhat higher smoking point than butter because we don’t want to burn the butter and spoil the sauce. We add the butter when the mushrooms have that lovely golden crust.
- Refrain from constantly stir the mushrooms! Let them get that nice golden sear on every side, one side at a time.
- We add seasoning at the end so the salt does not draw moisture from the cooked mushrooms.
How to cook mushrooms perfectly?
Here’s our no-fail method for how to cook mushrooms perfectly every time.
- Rub off the mushrooms of any sort with a damp dishtowel. Do not rinse the mushrooms as they will absorb water and render a lot of moisture when cooking.
- Sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, about 10 minutes – stirring only to turn them.
- Stir in garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and butter to the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring regularly for 3 minutes and basting the mushrooms with the sauce.
Do not be tempted to move the mushrooms too often. Give the mushrooms some time to get that nice golden sear that locks in the moisture.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the mushrooms. When it comes to cooking mushrooms on the stove we found our cast iron skillet is the best. When the pan is heated, throw in the mushrooms and lay them into one layer.
How to sauté mushrooms
Our method for sauteing mushrooms is super simple. Sautéing mushrooms means to quickly cook the mushrooms in a little fat in a skillet and this cooking method works with all types of mushrooms: cremini, shiitake, portobello, etc… Feel free to mix different varieties of mushrooms. Just cut them up about the same size so the mushrooms cook evenly.
How to keep the cooked mushrooms leftovers?
You can keep the cooked mushrooms’ leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. But honestly, we don’t think these delicious sauteed mushrooms will last long!
