I took this recipe and after making the cream of mushroom sauce, I placed the steaks in the skillet, then the skillet inside the oven which I set to preheat on broil while making the sauce. I placed the skillet 2 inches from the lowest point of the oven for good cooking. I cooked it 8 minutes, then pulled the skillet flipped the steaks and stirred the mushroom sauce. I placed the skillet back in for 5 minutes then let stand 5 minutes for an awesome medium well dish. My total time was 30 minutes.
