How To Make Outback Steakhouse Sauteed Mushrooms

Slice the mushrooms and chop the onions for cooking.

Step One: Slice your mushrooms and chop the onions.

Combine mushrooms, onions, salt, and melted butter in bowl.

Step Two: In a bowl, combine the mushrooms, diced onions, salt, and melted butter. Toss to coat evenly.

"Preheat air fryer to 375°F, cook mushrooms for 10-12 minutes."

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place the seasoned mushrooms and onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set cook time for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

Step Four: Once the mushrooms are tender, pour in the beef broth and Burgundy wine. Return the mushrooms to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to combine and thicken. Remove from the air fryer, and serve warm as a delicious side dish!

Outback Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe Tips

Preheat the Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding the mushrooms. This ensures even cooking and helps the mushrooms get a nice golden color.
Evenly Coat the Mushrooms: Toss the mushrooms and onions in melted butter and seasonings before placing them in the air fryer. This will ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
Single Layer Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the basket. For the best results, place the mushrooms in a single layer, allowing the hot air to circulate around each piece, ensuring they cook evenly.
Shake Halfway Through: Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crispness and to prevent sticking. This will help the mushrooms cook evenly on all sides.
Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Keep an eye on the mushrooms and adjust accordingly if they’re not as tender or crispy as desired.

Storing

Storing: Store leftover sautéed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure they are cooled down before sealing to prevent condensation.
Freezing: For longer storage, place cooled mushrooms in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Be aware that freezing may alter the texture slightly upon reheating.
Reheating: Reheat sautéed mushrooms in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore their crispness. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave for about 1 minute, though the texture won’t be as crispy.
