Buttery sautéed mushrooms and onions for burgers are so good! They make the perfect topping or side dish — ready in less than 15 minutes. A great addition to steaks, burgers, soups, or stews, these golden mushrooms are full of flavor and texture.
Mushrooms are sautéed with Worcestershire sauce that helps to caramelize them to a deep brown color and adds a fantastic flavor.
The Perfect Sauteed Mushrooms
Sauteed mushrooms and onions are a staple side dish in any steakhouse or restaurant. They add an amazing texture and flavour to dishes. I should admit that pan seared mushrooms are very easy to make in minutes, but there are some things that can take regular sautéed mushrooms from just good to extraordinary.
If you love mushrooms, we recommend to try our Garlic Mushrooms, Sautéed Mushrooms with Green Chili, Marinated Mushrooms or Stuffed Mushrooms. You can enjoy them for breakfast, serving on your toasts or as side dishes.
What You’ll Need for Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions
- Butter: Unsalted butter should be your go-to for this recipe because Worcestershire sauce and addition of salt can take these sautéed mushrooms over the edge in saltiness.
- Mushrooms: You can use any mushrooms for this recipe. Cremini, button, oyster, chanterelles or procini will work well.
- Worcestershire sauce: It adds the flavor and helps to caramelize the mushrooms.
- Onion: Red or yellow will work well.
- Garlic: Make sure to grate the garlic using a microplane grater to avoid raw garlic in the dish.
- Rosemary: If you don’t like rosemary, feel free to substitute it with any herbs you have on hand.
- Salt and pepper
