>oil
Grape seed oil is high smoke point

>pan
Don't have cast iron yet, I used all clad SS which shouldn't matter much if you don't move the pan around a lot on the heat and you're not cooking a giant tbone or something that will absorb a lot of heat.

>butter/sear
Butter was added towards the end. As for the oil, I saw a well known chef in my area oil a steak before searing and I have kept doing it out of habit. I've done it both ways, couldn't tell the difference and can't find any info on it. I'll probably start oiling the pan though because of convenience.

>salt
See blog post above about salt
