FAQs
I guess a better question is, what mushrooms don't? I use cremini mushrooms or white button mushrooms. You can buy pre-sliced white mushrooms to use. They're budget-friendly, tender, and extra delicious in this dish.
White mushrooms are a perfect pair for steak. They're earthy, tender, and hold up beautifully to a sauce and the natural flavors of steak without overpowering the meat itself.
If you're buying your mushrooms whole, you will have to slice and wash them. This is easy to do - take a damp paper towel and gently scrub the tops and undersides of the mushrooms. Then cut them into slices. Don't rinse the mushrooms, or they may absorb too much water and become mushy.
Seasoning for Mushrooms
The seasoning for mushrooms in this dish is super simple: it is just salt and pepper. You cook the mushrooms with onions and garlic, then add the sauce if desired, which really intensifies the flavors of the dish.
Can I make it without the sauce?
Yes! If you want to make steakhouse mushrooms without the cognac sauce, simply follow the instructions to saute them with garlic, onions, and seasoning. I also recommend adding the Worcestershire sauce for a bit of extra flavor and tenderness.
Substitutions
- Cognac: If you're making steakhouse mushrooms with the sauce, you can substitute cognac for brandy, Madeira wine, or dry white wine, whiskey, rum, bourbon, sherry, red wine, or cooking wine.
- Sliced mushrooms: You can use any variety of mushroom you like best. I use sliced white mushrooms or cremini mushrooms.
How to Store
Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
How to Freeze
Allow to cool, then add to plastic freezer-safe bags labeled with the freezing date. Store in the freezer for 4-6 months.
What to do with leftovers
