I bought a butane portable stove for two reasons...so I can have something to cook on in case of a hurricane, and to sear things outside on extremely high heat so that it doesn't smoke up the house. Would recommend.

I usually use butter or olive oil
Nope. For the OP's sake, don't use these as they will both burn on high heat. I use ghee (flavor) along with safflower oil or grapeseed oil for high sears. Both safflower and grapeseed have high smoke points.

Drying is definitely the key. Sounds odd, but I've had some luck patting them dry as hell and then letting them rest in front of high powered fan for a minute or two. It's not enough wind power to pull the temp down, but it'll dry up any wetness spots.

I sear in Safflower oil (high smoke point) and butter. Usually in equal parts.

I do put whole cloves of garlic in my searing base, because fried garlic tastes amazing.
