You’ll notice the cooking time of the mushrooms may be as short as 5 minutes or as long as 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the sliced mushrooms you buy. If your mushrooms are thinner, they’ll take less time. Thicker slices will obviously take a bit longer. However, thick or thin, this recipe will cooperate nicely. Just make sure to pay attention to the cooking time.

　　

Ingredients

makes 4 servings

　　1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

　　1 pound sliced button mushrooms

　　1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic

　　2 tablespoons steak sauce (I used A-1)

　　Sea salt and pepper, to taste

　　

Step 1

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms become tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the steak sauce and continue cooking the mixture for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
