what type of oil is the best? I've looked at Olive oils but am uncertain as to which one to buy? Your advise would be appreciated.

Rice Bran, has a higher heat tolerance.

I season my meat with flour, herbs and garlic salt (mix all in a bag or on a plate and coat and shake excess off). I use butter to first cook the onions (if using) until soft and then remove the onions and then brown the seasoned pieces in onion flavoured butter. I prefer butter over oil for making casseroles.

If you want to use a good oil (as in good for you as opposed to a seed oil, which are not good for you) use a light olive oii. Or as others have mentioned butter or any animal fat would work.

I use a mixture of butter and olive oil - the oil stops the butter burning.
Works for me!

Agree with awoftam. You could try lard, coconut oil and avocado oil which all have higher smoke points than olive oil. Or clarified butter of course. Steer clear of the highly processed seed oils.

I dislike the thought of blood floating around in casseroles if the meat is now browned.

Browning gives colour in the final dish and can add to depth of flavour.
