When cooking steak

why do people butter baste after sealing the crust? None of it is seeping through. Why not butter baste before sealing the crust?

Butter belongs on bread and/or potatoes, not on steak.

I guarantee you every steak you've ever eaten at restaurants have been basted with butter during its last stage of cooking.

This was a coincidence.

If the pan and butter are hot enough but not too hot to burn the butter, it will add to the crust when basting. Fat is also a vehicle for flavor which is why people often add sprigs of fresh herbs and garlic to the pan while doing it.

I’m talking about spooning the butter over while the steak is cooking but using a melted herb butter when grilling will achieve the same.

Which is why I don't understand why people only baste after the crust is sealed? Put the steak on the pan and butter baste the top while the bottom is forming its crust.

I’m aware, I specifically request otherwise but I raise the finest beef in the world so I don’t often eat steak at restaurants because it’s never not a disappointment. I said what I said, butter does not belong on steak.
