    1. Heat. Bring a large skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer stir in the Worcestershire sauce and add the mushrooms.
    2. Saute. Start with sauteing the mushrooms for about 5 minutes on their own, until they start to turn golden brown, stirring about every minute and a half or so.
    3. Add the sliced sweet onions. Then continue to saute with the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. This should take about 10 minutes.
    4. Season. Once the mushrooms and onions are browned and almost ready to serve, reduce the heat to low, stir in the garlic, and season with salt and pepper. *Add optional butter if desired.
    5. Finish and serve. Saute for 30 seconds to a minute more then remove from heat and serve immediately.

    Serve these tasty pan-fried mushrooms and onions with a meaty main like my tomahawk steak, grilled lamb chops, or grilled marinated pork chops! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • You can substitute the Worcestershire sauce with equal amounts of soy sauce, red wine (a good quality dry red wine works best), balsamic vinegar, or beef stock.
    • When cooking the mushrooms it is important to not rush. Allow them to cook off their water content.
    • Choose sweet onions for better caramelization and flavor.
    • A splash of fresh (not bottled) lemon juice takes this tasty mushroom and onion side dish from amazing to out-of-this-world!
    • To quickly clean your mushrooms (without getting them water-logged) brush them off with a damp towel or dry brush OR place them into a colander and spray them using your sink sprayer.

    Notes

    • If you cutting your mushrooms into quarters and/or halves, be sure to try and get them approximately the same size so that they will cook evenly.
    • Sweet onions truly do have a sweeter flavor than your standard yellow onion variety. If you have them on hand, they're much better when sauteed with mushrooms.
    • You can substitute the Worcestershire sauce with equal amounts of either soy sauce, red wine (a good quality dry red wine works best), balsamic vinegar, or beef stock.
    • When cooking the mushrooms it is important to not rush. Allow them to cook off their water content.
    • A splash of fresh (not bottled) lemon juice takes this tasty mushroom and onion side dish from amazing to out-of-this-world!
    • To quickly clean your mushrooms (without getting them water-logged) brush them off with a damp towel or dry brush OR place them into a colander and spray them using your sink sprayer.

        Oh my! I do get ahead of myself sometimes, sorry! I only used a tablespoon of butter to add richness and finish off the mushrooms. Thanks for catching that!
