Equipment

Large skillet

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter or ghee
1 pound button mushrooms dried, sliced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon water plus more as needed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves optional

Instructions

In large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and butter until melted and shimmery.
Add sliced mushrooms, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Increase heat to medium-high and let mushrooms cook for 3 minutes, being careful not to move mushrooms at all.
When mushrooms have reduced in size by 33%-50% and look "sauteed", add minced garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds of stirring, add Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and water. Stir well.
Cook all ingredients together 4 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Add thyme leaves, if desired, and toss well to incorporate. Serve warm.

Notes

Work in multiple batches if needed so you don't overcrowd the mushrooms. They won't cook evenly if the skillet is too crowded.
Don't stir or move the mushrooms for the first 3 minutes they're in the skillet. They need plenty of time to really brown, and they won't be able to do that if they're being pushed around the skillet.
