Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings, about 1/4-inch thick.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and start to bubble slightly.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and thyme leaves, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to coat the mushrooms and onions evenly.
Lower the heat slightly and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving the mushroom and onion mixture over steak.
