Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cowboy Mushrooms
  1. Begin by gently cleaning your baby bella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems to bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are ready to absorb all that rich flavor. Set aside the cleaned mushrooms.
  2. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt until it becomes bubbly, which should take about 30 seconds.
  3. Once the butter is bubbling, stir in minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Keep a close eye on the garlic to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  4. Add the cleaned baby bella mushrooms to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
  5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over your Cowboy Mushrooms for a bright finish. Serve hot.
