What do you use when you sear your steak?
Posted by Lambdatiger1989 on 1/20/13 at 7:04 pm00
I usually use butter in my cast iron skillet to sear, but I was out so i used olive oil. I have to say, it was bit more exciting with the flare ups, but I think ilike the butter flavor better.

Butter and finely diced garlic clove.

I trim some fat off the steak and rub it in the hot pan just before adding the steak.

That sounds pretty good, but these filets had none

If you are searing a steak in butter, you are doing it wrong. Butter would burn before you get the pan hot enough.

Beef fat, clarified butter, or vegetable oil. Brush on the steak before searing. Pat steak dry before applying. Water is the enemy. You want to sear not steam the steak. I also pepper late in the game. I dont want burnt pepper on my steak.

Canola oil because of the high smoke point. I'll put a pat of butter on top when I put the steak in the oven

Sorry clarified butter is what I would normally use. You can get it a lot hotter than normal butter

Infrared grill...750 degrees two minutes a side...

Extra fat is unnecessary . The steak has enough already.
