Seasoning Tips for Steak

Here are some good beginner tips for seasoning steak:

1. Start with a good quality steak
2. Use a blend of salt and pepper for flavor
3. Rub seasoning evenly on both sides
4. Let the steak sit for about 30+ minutes before grilling.
5. Consider marinating the steak for extra flavor.
6. Experiment with different seasoning combinations.

Seasoning Options

1. Pre-Seasoning (1-24 hours before grilling):

• Applying salt in advance allows it to penetrate the meat, enhancing its natural flavors.
• Use about 1/2 teaspoon of salt per pound of meat.

2. Last-Minute Seasoning (30 minutes before grilling):

• Season with your favorite spices, herbs, and additional salt if needed.
• This is ideal for retaining the steak's moisture.

Avoid Salting Too Early

When salt comes into contact with the steak, it initially draws out moisture through osmosis. This moisture then dissolves the salt, forming a brine.

If the salt remains on the surface, it can create a barrier, making it harder for the steak to reabsorb the lost moisture.

Meat Seasoning Tips

• Keep it Simple: A combination of salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder works wonders.
• Room Temperature: Let your steak sit at room temperature for about 30+ minutes after seasoning. This ensures even cooking.
• Oil Before Seasoning: Lightly coat your steak with oil before applying seasoning. This helps in even distribution.

Remember, the key is balance. Enjoy grilling your perfectly seasoned steak!
