Add the onions and/or shallots, saute 2 minutes more. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat remaining butter and oil, until it bubbles, then add the meat and brown.

Cook over high heat and turn to medium-high and reduce by half. Add meat and season (to taste) and add the mushrooms/onions. Cook over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
