This creamy garlic mushrooms skillet is inspired by the beloved Texas Roadhouse side dish. Smoky, garlicky, and rich, it’s the perfect quick and easy 20-minute side for steak, chicken, or any comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chicken broth or water for deglazing

Instructions

  1. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel and slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Halve if very large.
  2. Peel and finely mince garlic cloves.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp butter and olive oil; swirl until melted and foaming subsides.
  4. Add mushrooms in a single layer. Sauté without stirring for 2-3 minutes, then toss and cook another 3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Push mushrooms to the edges, melt in remaining 1 tbsp butter, and add garlic to the center. Stir gently for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. If needed, deglaze pan with 2 tbsp chicken broth or water, scraping up browned bits.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream and let bubble gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
  8. Sprinkle in parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and sauce is glossy.
  9. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Serve immediately in the skillet.

Notes

For best results, don’t overcrowd the pan—brown mushrooms in batches if needed. Use fresh garlic and real parmesan for optimal flavor. If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of milk or broth. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and vegan parmesan.
