Steakhouse Garlic Butter Mushrooms

Prepare the mushrooms:
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the stems if desired, or leave them whole for a more rustic look.
Sauté the mushrooms:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Add garlic and herbs:
- Once the mushrooms are golden brown, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Optional: Add beef broth:
- For a richer flavor, add the beef broth to the skillet and let it reduce for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
Season and finish:
- Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve:
- Serve the garlic butter mushrooms as a side dish to steaks or any main course. They’re especially good with a juicy, perfectly cooked steak!

Mushroom variety: Use cremini, white button, or even portobello mushrooms depending on your preference. Cremini mushrooms work particularly well for their flavor and texture.
Fresh herbs: Fresh thyme and rosemary will add a more intense and aromatic flavor, but dried herbs are a fine alternative.
For extra sauce: If you prefer a saucier dish, add more beef broth or a splash of heavy cream towards the end to create a creamy garlic butter sauce.
Make ahead: These mushrooms can be cooked ahead of time and reheated just before serving. Just reheat in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking them.
