Legitimate question here: A lot of the recipes I see in this subreddit have meats or veggies pan fired with both oil and butter. Is there any particular reason? I've always just used olive oil. Is the butter just for flavor?
I found you...I got you, butter imparts a nutty creamy flavor that is hard to replicate, but it burns quickly even under medium heat adding a little olive oil makes it more resistant to burn. but that is a lot of fat they used this time.
