    Sautéed Mushrooms With Thyme and Red Wine

    Make this sautéed mushroom recipe in under 10 minutes. This mushroom and red wine and herb combo is so satisfying. It hits all the flavor notes. Garlic sautéed mushrooms with red wine and thyme are a tasty topping for steak or chicken. They are a delicious way to add mushrooms to a pasta or risotto. There are so many ways to love them. Let’s go saute mushrooms with fresh herbs and wine.

    The best red wine and mushrooms combination

    The mushrooms. For this recipe, use cremini mushrooms or white button mushrooms.

    The red wine and mushrooms pairing. Don’t use a sweet red wine, unless you want sweet mushrooms. Go for a dry red wine – try a Pinot Noir or Zinfandel. Any wine you like to drink that isn’t too sweet should work just fine.

    Ingredients to make red wine sautéed mushrooms

    Beyond mushrooms and red wine, this recipe adds absolutely delicious flavors with a little garlic, fresh thyme, and a balsamic glaze (optional).

    How to saute mushrooms with thyme and red wine

    Step 1. Clean mushrooms. My preference is to use a damp paper towel to gently wash off the dirt so the mushrooms get clean but don’t pick up too much moisture from the water.

    Allowing mushrooms to stay as dry as possible makes it easier to cook the mushrooms just right. Cut the mushrooms in half.

    How To Saute Mushrooms

    Step 2. Heat a small to medium pan on the stove to medium heat. (personally, I find using medium high heat to be overpowering for this recipe with all the garlic). Add olive oil and garlic.

    Stir for one minute, then add the mushrooms, butter, and thyme (2 tsp of fresh leaves).

    Steps To Make Sauteed Mushrooms

    Stir regularly for 2-3 minutes until the butter completely melts and the mushrooms begin turning golden brown.

    Turn heat to medium-low if the mushrooms or garlic start to burn.

    Step 3. Add red wine, salt, and pepper to the pan.

    steps to adding red wine to mushrooms

    Stir regularly for 1-3 minutes until red wine dissolves into mushrooms.

    Remove mushrooms from the hot burner and turn off the heat if they begin sticking to the pan.

    Serve this tasty mushroom side dish

    Plate mushrooms in a serving dish with a nice looking spoon or mini tongs and garnish with the remaining fresh thyme leaves. You could also drizzle them with a little balsamic glaze if you really want to have a good time.

    Know what tastes great with these? Red wine caramelized red onions.

    Cooking mushrooms with dried thyme

    Use dried thyme sparingly if you don’t have fresh thyme. To replace fresh with dried thyme, add 1 tsp dried thyme to these tasty, perfect sauteed mushrooms when you add the salt and pepper. And don’t garnish the dish with any additional dried thyme. Just skip it.

    Liquids you can cook mushrooms in besides wine

    If you’re looking to substitute red wine for a broth or another liquid, here are some options:

    • Beef broth
    • Chicken broth
    • Water mixed with a pinch of dry Italian herbs
    • A dry white wine

    Delicious ways to enjoy this sauteed mushroom recipe

    • Add mushrooms to homemade pizza with mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil
    • Make breakfast tacos with eggs and bacon
    • Use as a topping for sous vide NY strip and sous vide chicken
    • Add mushrooms to a creamy pasta dish or risotto
    • Use as a side for balsamic marinated chicken with mozzarella, sous vide pork chops, or spinach pesto pasta

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
