Bold choice using a non-neutral oil for your steaks, how does it compare?
I prefer it over using olive oil, but only for steaks, and I use pure coconut oil instead of refined, so I get a stronger coconut oil taste from it.
For some reason, I find it makes beef taste better. Not sure why, I'm usually a purist when it comes to that sort of thing.

Why are you frying steak?
If it's cut that can stand the heat of a grill/bbq, it will have enough fat in it to keep itself moist and to prevent it from sticking, as the fat will start to melt.

This Death by Coconut reminds me some mice from my colleague Jun.
These mice had a mutation in one gene but they were doing fine.
One Friday Jun gave them a chow diet from another supplier. The following Monday all mutant mice were died, control mice were OK.
TLDR, the new diet contained coconut oil instead of lard. After more study, this serendipitous observation led to discover a gene important for the break down of vegetal fat.

Kracht's title Imperium has an ironic double meaning: the absolute power of the coconut in Engelhardt's philosophy, and the imperialism of Germany.
The book's subject matter makes it fit even better when you consider Imperium is also the title of Francis Parker Yockey's opus.

The comments on the NPR story are amusing.
Then apparently I like to fry steaks in a couple of spoonfuls of liquid God, and wash it down with the blood of Christ (ie, wine).
