Ingredients

24 ounces cremini mushrooms other types of mushrooms will also work or feel free to use a combination.
¼ cup low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter I use salted butter
2 teaspoons fine chopped fresh herbs we love rosemary and thyme but oregano, basil, parsley, sage or a combination are also delicious

Instructions

Wash the mushrooms under running water and drain well. Cut into ¼-inch slices and place in your largest skillet. I use my 12-inch Staub braiser pan but a large skillet/sauté pan will also work well.
Add the broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and salt and stir. Bring the liquids to a boil over medium-high heat, stir again and continue cooking. Within a minute or two you will see the mushrooms begin to give off their water.
Keep cooking over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan and add the butter to the center. Allow it to melt and then stir well to coat the mushrooms with the melted butter.
Continuing with the heat on medium-high, allow the mushrooms to sit undisturbed for 1 minute. Stir to redistribute. Repeat the 1-minute undisturbed several times until the mushrooms are to your preference of golden. If they seem to be browning too quickly, lower the heat a bit.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with your choice of finely chopped fresh herbs and serve OR transfer to an airtight storage container to store until ready to use.
