Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- Butter (to your liking)
- Herb Salt (a pinch)
- Parsley flakes (a pinch)
- Parmesan cheese powder (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by trimming the tough ends off the king oyster mushrooms. Then, slice them into approximately 1cm thick pieces, cutting them at a slight angle. Slicing too thin can reduce the chewiness, while cutting them too thick might make it difficult for them to cook through evenly.
Step 2
Score the sliced mushrooms on both sides with a crosshatch pattern using a knife. This crucial step allows the butter and seasonings to penetrate deeper into the mushrooms, infusing them with rich flavor.
Step 3
Heat a dry skillet over high heat. Place the scored mushroom slices in the hot pan and sear them until golden brown on both sides. This searing process helps to evaporate excess moisture, resulting in a wonderfully chewy texture.
Step 4
Once both sides of the mushrooms are nicely browned, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add butter to the pan. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the mushrooms to coat them evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms develop a rich, golden color from the butter.
Step 5
Transfer the beautifully seared mushrooms to a serving plate. Sprinkle with herb salt to taste and add a pinch of dried parsley for a touch of color and aromatic freshness.
Step 6
For an extra layer of flavor, finish by sprinkling with Parmesan cheese powder, if you have it. If not, don’t worry – they’re delicious even without it! Now, enjoy your warm, freshly made king oyster mushroom butter sear with your favorite beer.
