If I'm doing steak with butter I start with avocado oil for a maximum temp initial sear, turn the heat off, and then add butter garlic and aromatics. With enough butter (always a good thing) the pan is cooled enough by the melting butter that the butter doesn't burn. Adding butter at the start, regardless of other oils, still imparts acrid flavours.
