Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions Recipe

American · Side dish · 25 min total

A quick and versatile side dish of earthy mushrooms and sweet caramelized onions, perfect for steak, burgers, or pasta.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry or white wine (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted and foaming.
2. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add mushrooms and spread in an even layer. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes to allow browning.
4. Stir mushrooms and continue cooking until they release their liquid and it evaporates, about 5 minutes.
5. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. If using, add sherry or wine and cook for 30 seconds, scraping up any browned bits.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Tips

• For deeper flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties like shiitake and oyster.
• Serve over grilled steak, burgers, or toss with pasta and Parmesan.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
