- 16 ounces mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon browning sauce like Gravy Master, optional

Prep the Mushrooms: Gently wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth to clean. Trim off any dry or woody stem ends.
Sear the Mushrooms: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add mushrooms and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let them cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a golden sear.
Add Garlic & Spices: In a small bowl, mix paprika, onion powder, oregano, tarragon, black pepper, and chili powder. Add the minced garlic and spice mix to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Optional Browning Sauce: If using, stir in the browning sauce. Cook for 1–2 more minutes for deeper color and flavor.
Add Worcestershire & Soy Sauce: Pour in the Worcestershire and soy sauces. Stir to combine and let cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
Finish with Butter: Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until melted for a rich, glossy finish.
Garnish and Serve: Top with freshly chopped chives and serve warm.
Use firm, fresh mushrooms for the best texture.
Adjust the garlic to your taste—more for boldness, less for subtlety.
