How to Make Balsamic Sauteed Mushrooms

1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
2. Place a shallow serving dish near the stove.
3. Turn on the exhaust fan.
4. In a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Add 1 pound cremini mushrooms and ¾ teaspoon salt. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until mushrooms absorb all the fat.
6. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir once. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are shrunken, glistening, and some sides are deeply browned (about 6-7 minutes).
7. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring, until butter melts and garlic is fragrant (15-20 seconds).
8. Carefully pour in the balsamic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid reduces to a glaze (15-20 seconds).
9. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
10. Immediately transfer mushrooms to the serving dish, scraping the pan with a spatula to get all the sauce.
11. Let sit for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy!
