    Melt butter and add onions; sauté for 1 minute. Add peppers and sauté for 1 minute.

    Add mushrooms, toss to coat in butter, and season with freshly ground black pepper; stir constantly for 2 minutes. Let them cook for 8 minutes.
  • 6
    Add garlic and thyme; sauté for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
