Pan frying a steak butter vs oil (self.cooking)

I want to put the steak onto a hot pan to get that sear on the outside and uh lock in the flavor or something. But butter burns at high heats and oil doesn't add flavor like butter.

Is there a way I can get the best of both? A nice sear but still cook in butter?

Says it's a stirlon for example.

You can try garlic infused olive oil

Olive oil burns at low temps and shouldn't be used for searing.

I would generally agree, though I've found extra virgin can work if you keep the temp just high enough to sear.

I pretty much only use olive oil, but I keep a couple others around in case I do need to crank the heat.

The challenge is most oils that tolerate heat also have a very poor Omega 3:Omega 6 ratio, so are not great from an insulin standpoint (nor health in general).

Grape seed oil handles temp well, and is at least better than corn oil or canola if I remember right.

Lol the down voter... Hey buddy, come cook in my house, where there's 60+ years of combined experience, with over 300 recipes, and we make 2 new recipes every month.
