Outback Steakhouse Sautéed Mushrooms Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz whole white button mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden brown on the underside.
  2. Push mushrooms to the edges, add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the center, then cook the sliced onion for 3 minutes over medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Add the salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half and coats the mushrooms in a dark glaze.
  4. Spoon into a serving bowl, scatter the chopped parsley over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

These are best eaten right away while the glaze is still glossy, but they reheat well the next day with a small splash of broth in the pan. If you are making them for a dinner party, sear the mushrooms up to an hour ahead and finish the braise step just before serving. A 12-inch or larger skillet makes a real difference here; a smaller pan will crowd the mushrooms and cost you the sear.
