Ive gotten several very positive comments on the mushrooms I always make to accompany Steaks or Prime Rib so I thought I would giveaway just how silly easy theses are and lose my street cred!
I like to use baby Brown / Bella’s for this but you can use baby white mushrooms if thats what you prefer or can source. Actually finding the small Bellas can be a challenge at times and this really works better with smaller mushrooms. I will say that the very small “ button shrooms are just too small to take the heat on this cook. Sliced are also not the way but will work in a pinch and do cook faster but they don’t hold up well to the high heat and extended times I cook these.
Ok so for this cook I use 1/2 pound of small-med shrooms per steak/person Im feeding. I know that seems like a bunch but they really cook down and they are so freaking good they will not go to waste!!…I digress…
As Im always cooking for at least 2 Ill give my ingredients and its easy to scale up or down depending…
1 lb baby browns
1 stick lightly salted butter
1 tablespoon chopped garlic - I use the jar stuff as I really like it
2 tablespoons or so of dehydrated chopped onion - Ive tried fresh but trust me on this…
a light sprinkle of Lawerys -maybe a 1/2 teaspoon
After washing the mushrooms place in a pan that will hold them and hold up to good heat and stirring. I use a 1/4 tall stainless pan as it will hold two lbs of mushrooms, fits nicely on the grill and when the shrooms cook down they fit nice in the bottom to cook.
Sprinkle the onion, garlic and salt over the mushrooms and toss the butter on top.
Place the pan on the grill indirect until the butter melts and you can give the shrooms a good stir to cover them in butter.
Move to high direct heat and let them cook! I stir them every 10 mins or so to keep them cooking evenly. I keep this going until the water from the shrooms has mostly cooked off leaving clarified butter. Like I said this is a 30 -45 min process using whole mushrooms so don’t panic on time. Keep stirring and you will be fine.
At this point i just move them back to a cool side of the grill to stay warm while I work the magic on some beef!!!
Heres some pics and glamor shots. I wish I had some step by step pics but you will get the point.
