Unlock the secret to tender, flavorful steak using a simple salt-based method. This easy technique enhances the texture and taste of your meat, making it perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or slow cooking.
Ingredients
-
Steak (any cut of your choice)
-
Kosher or sea salt (approximately 1 teaspoon per pound of meat)
-
Optional: your favorite herbs and spices (garlic powder, rosemary, black pepper, etc.)
-
Paper towels
Preparation Steps
-
Dry the Meat
Pat the steak dry thoroughly with paper towels. Removing surface moisture helps the meat brown better and enhances the texture. -
Salt Generously
Place the steak on a clean cutting board or plate.
Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of salt per pound of meat, coating both sides evenly.
For added flavor, you may rub in herbs or spices at this stage. -
Let It Rest
Allow the salted steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
This gives the salt time to penetrate the meat, breaking down tough fibers and enhancing tenderness.
