If you love those sauteed mushrooms in red wine served at steakhouses, you have come to the right place. It's a simple side dish and quick to make.
Sauteed mushrooms are a tasty complement to broiled or grilled steaks. The mushrooms enhance the flavor of the beef. They also make a great vegetable side dish for just about any meal, and they reheat well.
Tips for Making Sauteed Steakhouse-Style Mushrooms
- Using other kinds of mushrooms—If you use giant cremini mushrooms, cut them into quarters or even sixths, depending on the size. If you use button mushrooms, smaller ones can be left whole, while larger ones can be cut in half. Portobello mushrooms also work well and have a deeper, richer flavor that is perfect with beef. Use the type you prefer.
- Vary the amount of garlic—Six cloves of garlic might seem like a lot, and you can certainly reduce the amount to suit your taste. Keep in mind that sliced garlic, like whole garlic cloves, cooks up with a much milder flavor than pressed or minced garlic.
- What kind of wine to use—As for the red wine, any dark red wine will do, even if it is a dry wine. If you are not a wine drinker, buy the small 8-ounce 4-packs to keep for cooking.

"These sautéed mushrooms were easy to make and tasted rich and delicious! I served them as a side with a burger, and everyone loved them. I cut the larger mushrooms in half so they cooked within the same timeframe as the smaller mushrooms." —Diana Andrews
