Step 1

Wash and prep the mushrooms. Cut any large mushrooms in half so that they are all relatively the same size.

Step 2

Heat a pan over medium high heat and add only the mushrooms in a single layer. Stir occasionally and wait for the mushrooms to release their liquid, about 3 to 4 minutes.Either drain the liquid or let it continue to reduce until it's evaporated. This will give you a concentrated mushroom flavor that's full of umami. Removing this liquid is key to getting a golden brown sear.

Step 3

Once the liquid is drained or evaporated, add the oil, butter, garlic, and any flavoring (worchestershire, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, or white wine). Continue to saute until the mushrooms turn a golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
