    My garlic butter mushrooms also use a secret ingredient—teriyaki sauce! Teriyaki sauce helps the mushrooms to brown and adds a hint of sweetness, in addition to making them extra golden brown and caramelized.

    Not sure about the teriyaki sauce? Don’t worry - I’ve got suggestions for substitutions!

    ❤️ Why You'll Love This Recipe!

    • Ridiculously Easy! The mushrooms are simply sautéed in butter and seasonings until brown—it really doesn’t get much easier than that!
    • Super Fast! It only takes a few minutes to prep the mushrooms and a few minutes to cook, but the mushrooms will taste like they’re gourmet!
    • Perfect with Steak! I love delicious, sautéed mushrooms on top of a juicy steak! It really amps up the flavor, especially when the mushrooms are coated in an incredible garlic butter sauce!

    🥘 Garlic Butter Mushrooms Ingredients, Notes, & Substitutions

    Garlic butter mushrooms are just so easy to make! I love how golden brown the mushrooms get in all the yummy butter!

    • Button Mushrooms – 1 pound of button mushrooms. You can also use another variety like Cremini/Baby Bella! The larger mushrooms should be quartered, and you can cut the small ones in half.
    • Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil is great to help fry the mushrooms! It raises the smoke point of the butter so it doesn’t burn.
    • Butter – 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. You can’t have garlic butter mushrooms without butter! I prefer to use unsalted here—too much salt can make the mushrooms watery!
    • Minced Garlic – 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. I prefer to mince my own garlic for the best flavor, but you can use pre-minced! 1 tablespoon is about 3 cloves of garlic.
    • Teriyaki Sauce (optional) – 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce. This helps to brown the mushrooms and add loads of delicious, savory flavor! If you don't have teriyaki sauce, use Worcestershire sauce or beef bouillon base (I like Better Than Bouillon). Or, you can try a different teriyaki sauce substitute.
    • Steak Seasoning – 1 teaspoon of steak seasoning. You can also use salt and pepper to season the mushrooms, but I recommend using my steak seasoning to make these mushrooms out of this world!

    🔪 How To Make Garlic Butter Mushrooms

    Super easy garlic butter mushrooms are done in just 10 minutes! That’s the fastest you’ll ever be able to whip up a side dish! All you need is a cutting board, a knife, a large skillet, and a wooden spoon.

    This recipe will make 4 servings of garlic butter mushrooms.

    1. Prep Mushrooms. Clean and cut 1 pound (450 grams) of mushrooms into even sizes—you can leave very small ones whole or cut in half, and larger ones can be quartered. You just want the mushrooms all to be around the same size!
    2. Sauté Mushrooms. Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of olive oil and 3 tablespoons (56 grams) of butter to a large frying pan or skillet. You want it to be large enough for the mushrooms to be in an even layer. Once heated, add the prepared mushrooms, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce (2.5 grams or substitute), and 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of steak seasoning.
    3. Finish Mushrooms. Stir the mushrooms with garlic butter sauce until the mushrooms are browned slightly, about 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer slowly until mushrooms are tender, about 5 more minutes. When the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, plate the mushrooms and serve immediately.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • When cleaning mushrooms, don’t soak them in the water! Mushrooms absorb a lot of water, so it’s important not to introduce too much water to them before cooking. I like to wipe off the dirty with a damp paper towel, but if your mushrooms are particularly dirty, you can quickly rinse off the mushrooms and pat dry!
    • If mincing your own garlic, crush the garlic first to make it easier! Crush the cloves well with your knife, then chop until the garlic is well minced. You can also use a sprinkle of salt to help break down the garlic if needed. If you don’t like the smell of garlic on your hands, soap them up and rub them on your sink! It sounds weird, but the stainless steel absorbs the aroma of the garlic!
    • If you’d like to use seasoning to boost your mushrooms' flavor, try using my easy steak seasoning recipe! It’s filled with delicious onion and garlic powder, bold pepper, and smoked paprika and is balanced out by sweet thyme and rosemary! It’s an amazing accompaniment to garlic butter mushrooms.
    • Want to use bouillon paste instead of teriyaki sauce? Make sure you reduce the amount! Bouillon paste is super concentrated and can get very salty, so I recommend starting with a teaspoon and adding more if you’d like. You don’t want to have an over-salted dish!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    These delicious garlic butter mushrooms will last for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. You should make sure they’re completely cooled before storing the garlic butter mushrooms in an airtight container or a plastic storage bag.

    Freezing Garlic Butter Mushrooms

    You can also make these tasty mushrooms ahead of time and freeze them! Once they've cooled, transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container or a freezer storage bag.

    They’ll keep for up to a year! I recommend putting them directly from frozen into a hot skillet, or whatever you’re heating them in—this way, they’ll be less likely to get mushy!

    Reheating Garlic Butter Mushrooms

    There is some mixed information online about whether reheating mushrooms is safe, but it is safe to reheat mushrooms as long as they’re stored properly!

    I recommend using a skillet with a little bit of oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms until they’re completely heated through and browned again!

    If you prefer, you can also use the microwave. Transfer the mushrooms to a microwave-safe bowl, then heat at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mushrooms are completely heated.

    The microwave might make the mushrooms a little rubbery—so be careful not to overheat them!

    ❓ FAQ

    Can Mushrooms Sit Out?

    Mushrooms can easily harbor bacteria, so make sure they don’t sit out at room temperature for too long! Either serve the mushrooms immediately or, once they’ve cooled, transfer them promptly to the fridge!
    This will ensure no one gets sick from the mushrooms. If you’re serving them for a holiday gathering and have the ability to keep them warm, that’ll also work!

    Why Did My Mushrooms Cook Down So Much?

    Because mushrooms are so spongy, once they’re cooked down, you’ll notice that you might wind up with less than you started! If you’re cooking for a crowd of mushroom lovers, you can easily double the recipe so that no one is fighting over that last delicious bite!

    Is It Better To Saute Mushrooms In Butter Or Olive Oil?

    I like to use both! Butter adds a rich flavor while adding a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil raises the smoke point so that your butter does not burn. I would not recommend using butter alone, though, as it could easily burn while cooking your mushrooms.

      Great recipe! I made them as a side dish to spaghetti and meat sauce. I used Worcestershire sauce, as that's what I had on hand, and added some crushed rosemary at the end. Super yummy!
