Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 cups (sliced) Cremini or button mushrooms
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish, optional) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add the thinly sliced onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to caramelize and soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring them into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the dried thyme, stirring to evenly coat the mushrooms and onions with the seasoning.

Step 6

Pour in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture. Let the liquid simmer for 1-2 minutes to intensify the flavors.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Step 8

Remove from heat and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a topping on steaks, burgers, baked potatoes, or even crusty bread.
