Let it cool, pour the oil into a old salsa or pasta sauce jar, and just give it a good wash with water and dish soap, and see how it looks after that.

If there's no non-stick coating (it's stainless steel, so it probably doesn't), Barkeeper's Friend would be my next suggestion. Sprinkle some on to lightly coat the bottom, then use a damp cloth, going with the grain.
