Pan sauce when there are browned bits but almost no fat

After searing lean meat I sometimes have great fond but almost no fat.

I usually add a little butter, soften shallot, then deglaze. Is there any reason not to deglaze first and add butter at the end, apart from needing some fat for the shallot?
