Olive oil has a low smoke point and burns. What type of pan did you use? Cast iron is best for indoor searing, in my opinion and experience. If your cast iron is well seasoned, you can omit the oil. I use a little bit anyway, usually, but I have a VERY STRONG exhaust because my stovetop has a gas grill in the middle.

Its not that low actually.

But I think the light pan, and the fact that he went to open all the windows and doors instead of tending his steak might have something to do with it.
