What is the best way to salt steak? I like to use a more fine granular sea salt and then apply a bit of kosher while serving but not sure if kosher is just the best the entire way through.

I just put some salt on it

I like a 59/50 by weight kosher himiayan pink sea salt mixture as a base seasoning. I like approx 25% black pepper with about half that garlic powder (NOT SALT). Let things get warmed up to room temp over about an hour, covered with parchment or paper towels.

Then you're good my man.

Put salt on the bottom of a glass container, put meat on top of it, then throw more salt on meat. Let sit for at least 24 hours.

>> No.19545694

When seasoning meat, course salt is just so you can quickly and accurately dose by feel. It won't change the end product; the meat's going to absorb all the salt either way unless you're doing something very wrong like not letting it set.

I dry brine steak 1 day ahead, or at a minimum 4 hours. First pat the steak dry. Season generously with kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper on all sides. Leave it in the fridge overnight, I place it on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet so air can touch the steak's bottom surface. I don't add any salt after cooking, but if I'm feeling fancy I might add serve with a compound butter (shallot, parsley, lemon zest/juice is good). People seem to love the results and make comments like "How did you get it so juicy?" and "The steak I had at a steakhouse last night wasn't this good."

Coarse salt, ground pepper let sit

>> No.19547243

Why do some people bring up jews when talking about steaks?

Anyway they recommend you to dry brine it, salt the meat and let it sit for a while. Some do it for 15min, some couple hours, some over night. Wet brining isn't done on meats that are cooked at relatively low internal temperature, its already juicy and wb adds moisture into the meat which isn't needed. They even dry age steaks to get water out and make the flavor more intense.

I've no idea what people hope to gain with coarse salt, flaky stuff is used to have easier time handling salt.

Whoever or whatever 'the goose' is doesn't know how to season properly; all that does is season evenly.If you know how, it's unnecessary.

Kosher is the right one for seasoning. The thin flakes hold more moisture relative to how much salt is added. This is desirable.

salt is a tiny molecule and it goes all over and into the meat as soon as it dissolves in water, so it doesn't matter unless you're using giant corns of salt that can't dissolve in the amount of water they pull out in the first place
