Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Button mushrooms
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim stems if necessary but keep them whole.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Add mushrooms to the Crock Pot in an even layer.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, beef broth, thyme, pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Pour the butter mixture over the mushrooms in the Crock Pot.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.
Once cooked, prepare a cornstarch slurry by whisking cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until smooth.
Stir the slurry into the Crock Pot and mix well. Cover and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve mushrooms hot, spooning the sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
