1. Clean mushrooms by gently wiping them with a paper towel or using a mushroom brush. Slice into thick slices (about ½")

2. Add butter and oil to a pan and heat over medium-high heat

3. Quickly toss the mushrooms & soy sauce (do not do this ahead of time, this will remove too much moisture from the mushrooms)
