Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 cups (sliced) Cremini or button mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish, optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the thinly sliced onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to caramelize and soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring to prevent burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring them into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and become golden brown.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, stirring to evenly coat the mushrooms and onions with the seasoning.
Pour in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture. Let the liquid simmer for 1-2 minutes to intensify the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Remove from heat and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a topping on steaks, burgers, baked potatoes, or even crusty bread.
