Whenever I want to make an easy and delicious side dish, I love to cook up these earthy sauteed mushrooms. This is the perfect elevated and rich side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled steak, juicy marinated chicken or even plain rice.
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms.
Allow the mushrooms to sear for 5 minutes, stirring to flip them over. Then add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mushrooms to sear another 5 minutes to develop a rich caramelized color.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and sherry. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 10 more minutes, stirring on occasion. The goal is for the mushrooms to absorb the sherry, leaving only a small amount of moisture in the pan.
Taste, then salt and pepper again if needed. Serve warm over meat or as a side dish!

Notes
Place any leftover mushrooms into an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. To freeze, place in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving.
