- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
Sizzling blackstone mushrooms and onions elevate classic steak with rich, caramelized flavors that complement perfectly grilled meat. Savory umami notes and golden-brown edges create a mouthwatering side dish you’ll crave alongside your favorite cut of beef.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) fresh mushrooms
- 1 white onion
Cooking Fats:
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Meticulously clean mushrooms and slice into substantial wedges, roughly ½-inch thick. Transform onions into elegant half-moon segments of similar thickness.
- Ignite the Blackstone griddle to medium-high temperature (450°F), creating a sizzling cooking surface. Generously coat the area with avocado oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
- Cascade mushrooms and onions onto the heated surface, immediately seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow ingredients to caramelize undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, developing rich golden edges.
- Gently maneuver the vegetables, revealing their beautifully bronzed undersides. Continue cooking an additional 2-3 minutes, periodically shuffling to ensure uniform browning and achieving desired tenderness.
- Once vegetables reach optimal caramelization and softness, transfer immediately from griddle. Present alongside perfectly grilled steak or as a standalone side dish.
- For optimal flavor preservation, consume promptly. If necessary, store remaining sautéed vegetables in sealed container within refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
Notes
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms like cremini or white button for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a high-heat oil like avocado or grapeseed to prevent burning and add a subtle richness to the dish.
- Allow mushrooms and onions to develop a deep golden-brown color by resisting the urge to constantly stir, creating a delicious caramelized exterior.
- For a lighter version, replace butter with olive oil or use a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
