How do they sautee thier mushrooms at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse?

I always thought that sauteeing means frying them... no?... Their mushrooms are whole and look like they were boiled or something...How do they sautee thier mushrooms at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse?
They are probably sauteed in butter - and saut茅eing does mean frying - specifically on a fryingpan, at not too high a temperature, and usually in clarified butter.

Mushrooms are spongy - so they soak up the melted butter. But the slightly lower temperature keeps the water, they "sweat" from evaporating from the pan, so they do in effect boil in the butter-water, which keeps them from forming a hard, golden, fried surface.



I haven't been to Ruth's Chris since I was in NY last - that's 12 years ago!!

But my guess would be, that for really great saut茅ed mushrooms, the chef at Ruth's Chris would add a little freshly-ground white pepper and a small squirt of lemonjuice to the mushrooms, about 陆-way through the saut茅eing.How do they sautee thier mushrooms at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse?
Sauteing is cooking in a small amount of fat over a lower heat than frying. The aim of frying is to sear the outside-of sauteing, to gently cook it.

I'm curious-do you not have this steakhouse in your area or are the prices just too outrageous?
