Description

Savory sautéed mushrooms infused with cowboy butter—a flavorful compound butter with herbs, garlic, and spices—creating a rich and hearty side dish.


Ingredients

  • 2 lb white button mushrooms, cleaned
  • 1 cup cowboy butter (compound butter with herbs, garlic, and spices)
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. Melt the cowboy butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat evenly with the butter.
  3. Stir in the mustard, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for 18–22 minutes until tender and browned.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and parsley if using.
  6. Serve immediately as a side or topping.

Notes

  • Cowboy butter can be made in advance with garlic, parsley, thyme, paprika, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and Dijon mustard.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days and reheat in a skillet.
  • Cremini or portobello mushrooms can be used for variation.
  • Great as a steak topping or side dish for grilled meals.
