I use olive oil rather than vegetable oil or shortening.

I've tried using extra virgin OO and found that the smoke point is too low for the sear, so I use other stuff. I've tried everything from 100% shortening to prepackaged "wok oil," and I think simple veg oil or a veg/shortening combo is the best for cost and availability.
