You can totally do that, Jesse. You could also saute the mushrooms first and then cook trhe steak in the same pan. That's how I do it with chicken. I don't know that the order is important if you aren't glazing the pan or making gravy from the drippings.
My VCR thinks DST ends today. I had to unplug it to stop being confused about what time it is since I apparently can't turn the damn thing on to reset the clock.

Mushrooms release a lot of water, so if you cook them first you won't get as good a sear on the steak. Plus, cooking the steak first means you'll have tasty fond in the pan which the mushrooms will absorb flavor from.

Thank you -t. I just noticed that both my VCRs are now an hour off.
I've always done (1) saute the mushrooms (2) cook the meat (3) glaze the pan. Should I change that up?
don't forget to tent the steak while you're cooking the mushrooms, so it stays warm.

FTR, steak, mushrooms, and brussels sprouts were all a success. Even though I still can't figure out how to cook steak medium.

Luckily, I can deal with pretty rare, which is what I ended up with, as well, as well done, which I got last time I made steak!
