Let’s Make it Together

First things first: Gather Your Ingredients. Make sure everything is within arm’s reach before you start cooking. Trust me; no one wants to hunt for garlic while butter is melting!

Prep Those Mushrooms: Clean your fresh mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth instead of rinsing them under water, this keeps them from getting soggy. Slice them evenly so they cook uniformly.

Melt That Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until bubbly but not browned. You want that rich buttery aroma wafting through your kitchen!

Add Garlic Galore: Toss in 3-4 minced garlic cloves into the melted butter. Stir continuously until fragrant, about 30 seconds, to avoid burning. Your kitchen will smell incredible at this point!

Cook Those Mushrooms: Add your sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them sizzle without stirring for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown on one side before flipping.

Season to Perfection: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mushrooms while they’re cooking, taste as you go! When they’re tender and beautifully caramelized (around 10 minutes total), remove from heat.

Add Fresh Parsley Finale!: Just before serving, stir in freshly chopped parsley for that burst of color and flavor. Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts These Steakhouse Garlic Butter Mushrooms are now ready to shine on your dinner table!
