NO. Don't use sesame oil for pan searing. Sesame oil has a very low smoke point; significantly lower than olive oil. Plus it has a very strong flavor which will overpower any other spices/seasonings that you try to use if you use more than a small amount of sesame oil.
But the main thing is sesame oil will smoke a lot more than EVOO.
