Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering, add the steak and sear until well-browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Remove the steak from the bone and slice thin. Spoon butter from the skillet over the steak. Arrange the steak on the rolls, top with lettuce, scallions, and sauce of your choice. Serve.
