1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds white button mushrooms purchased whole, and sliced, see note 1 (680.4 grams)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves minced
2 tablespoons red wine see note 2
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon table salt)
dash freshly ground black pepper

Heat the olive oil in 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 pounds white button mushrooms
Turn up the heat so the liquid from the mushrooms can evaporate. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat back to medium and add the butter. Stir occasionally and cook for 8 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 3 garlic cloves
Stir in the red wine and balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, taste the mushrooms, and add more as necessary. Serve and enjoy.
2 tablespoons red wine, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, dash freshly ground black pepper

White button mushrooms are perfect for this recipe because of their moisture content. Cremini mushrooms, or baby bellas, would also be a great option. They have a deeper, more woodsy taste than white button mushrooms.
I like keeping small bottles of wine in my pantry for recipes like this. They come in a pack of four and are great when you need just a little. Alternatively, you could use beef broth here.
