Me too

I just wonder if it's mostly a waste of time

I have a friend who insists that you should never pepper a steak before cooking. I always have, and I've enjoyed some pretty tasty steaks. I've never noticed a bitter burned pepper taste.


I don't think it necessarily harms anything. I think the idea is that it doesn't really provide as much taste adding it before hand. The flavor doesn't really penetrate the meat like salt.

I think is more about getting the pepper crusted on when browning that's the attraction.

I wonder if the sugars, proteins and the pepper come together to add flavor that wouldn't be there without the fresh cracked pepper.
