Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 120 milliliters Chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary, and cut any larger mushrooms in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is hot.

Step 3

3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes to allow them to develop a golden-brown sear.

Step 4

4. Stir the mushrooms gently and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are evenly browned and softened.

Step 5

5. Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

6. Pour in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and chicken (or vegetable) stock. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the sauce.

Step 7

7. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 8

8. Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 9

9. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

10. Serve immediately as a side dish or use as a topping for steak, pasta, or rice. Enjoy your Saucy Skillet Mushrooms!
