Daddy's Sauteed Mushrooms

If there is one meal that my Daddy makes and makes so well that it surpasses all other meals it would be BBQ steak with Sauteed Mushrooms and his oh so famous Steak Sauce. The man seriously has this meal down pat! If you even SORT OF like mushrooms you will like this! When I was younger there would be times when I would walk into the house and from the smell of the mushrooms cooking on the stove I would know we were having BBQ steak! You could always count on a big portion of steak, a nice helping of mushrooms and Daddy's steak sauce! Sometimes there would be potatoes or other delectable items but you could always count on the classic three! Thinking about these mushrooms makes my mouth water!!! Here is how the man makes it great...

¼ cube butter or ½ cube of chicken bouillon with ¼ cup water
1 Package of fresh sliced mushrooms (or slice them yourself)
¼ Onion
3-4 cloves garlic or ½ tsp garlic powder
½ diced celery stalk or ¼ tsp celery salt
1 tbsp dried parsley
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Hard pinch of crushed chili pepper for extra heat if desired

Start by putting into a pot the butter, onion, and garlic all together and cooking over medium high heat until the onions become translucent. If you are using fresh celery, now would be the time to throw that in the pot as well. Once the onions have gone translucent add in everything else and let sautee for as long as possible or until the juices reduce by half. If you are trying to watch your figure then use the chicken bouillon instead of the butter and use fresh celery instead of the celery salt. The thing about using the fresh celery is that you have to let it cook down for a little longer. Daddy says you can always add more salt or pepper later but you can't add garlic after it's finished so don't forget to add that in the beginning! Serve over steak or eat alone but whatever you do....Enjoy!
