In all other examples i've seen le/la/les/l' is always translated as it is a definite article. This confuses me

Without any context, I imagined being given instructions, and took it as 'We cook the meat with the oil.'
I see now the 'de' changes this. Would my translation be correct with 'de'?

Strictly speaking "avec de l'huile" is "with oil" or "with some oil", nothing else.

In a masculine noun, "du" is used. In a feminine, "de la" is used. Since the first character of "huile" is "h", "de la" is transformed into "de l'"
