Pan frying a steak butter vs oil - eviltoast

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.

    This has been such a great thread I have so many new tricks to try out. I’m gonna have to buy more steak. I really want to try out the baking then sear. What heat would I bake it and for how long? Could I use an air fryer?

      Here’s a reverse sear recipe from America’s Test Kitchen. Their recipes are heavily tested and usually outstanding, although frequently over-complicated. If you don’t want to invest all the time into it, then you can just use their baking instructions and do your own thing for the seasoning. I haven’t heard of using an air fryer for cooking steak, so you’re on your own there. If I had to guess, I’d say it might dry it out a little, so maybe not the best approach.
