Seasoning
- Prepare the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the doubled portion of cowboy butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
- Add mushrooms: Once the butter is melted, add the cleaned white button mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to combine the mushrooms with the cowboy butter, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cook mushrooms: Continue to cook the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking. Cook for about 20-22 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and develop a nice golden color on the outside.
- Season and serve: Season mushrooms with salt to taste, give them a final stir, and remove from heat. Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Cowboy butter is a seasoned butter typically made with garlic, herbs, lemon, and spices; doubling it in this recipe intensifies the flavor.
- Make sure mushrooms are cleaned properly but avoid soaking them as they can absorb water and become soggy.
- For best results, use a large skillet to allow even cooking and avoid overcrowding the mushrooms.
- This dish pairs well with steak, chicken, or as a topping for burgers.
