How salting works?
• Salt draws out water from meat• Water dissolves salt and some of it gets sucked back into meat• Salt does something funny to the protein cells• When cooked, the relaxed, tangled proteins trap liquefied fat
and meat juice• Relaxed proteins = t-e-n-d-e-r meat• http://youtu.be/JcnZD5r9sts
Key points
• Liberal use of sea salt• Season both sides of steak• Steaks 1” or thicker• Wait at least 30-45 minutes• Rinse steaks and pat dry before grilling• Prepare seasoned butter to finish steaks to taste
