Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them evenly.

  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

  4. Season and simmer: Stir in the smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the fresh thyme and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. Deglaze with broth and Worcestershire sauce: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes until the broth reduces slightly and the mushrooms are coated in a flavorful sauce.

  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the cowboy mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.

  7. Enjoy: Serve these savory mushrooms as a side dish or as a topping for steak, grilled meats, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use half beef broth and half red wine.
  • You can swap the fresh thyme for other herbs like rosemary or oregano.
  • If you like a bit of heat, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the spices.
