Heat oil in a large cast-iron pan on medium-high heat. Add clusters of mushrooms and place a weight, such as a cast-iron press or another pan, on top. (If using large mushrooms, slice into 1/2-inch steaks or leave mushrooms whole.) Cook for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Flip mushrooms, replace weight, and cook for 2–3 minutes more. Remove the press from the mushrooms and season lightly with salt and pepper.
