Preparation:

Sautéing:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to sizzle. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

-
Final Touch:
- Give the mushrooms a gentle stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution. Keep an eye on the pan to prevent burning or sticking, adjusting the heat if necessary.
