Never thought of it.
But there’s lots of things I’ve never thought of.
I put Tony’s on my steaks a few hours ahead of time.
We love em like that.

You risk pulling out the moisture in the meat with the salt


Pulling some of the moisture out helps obtain a nice sear and crust.

If you salt your steaks that long before cooking, it’s going to draw out a lot of moisture. You’ll want to wipe them dry with paper towels then salt them again just before throwing them on the grill.

Salt will begin to cook the steak's surface and release moisture from the muscle if salted too far in advance. Ideally, we want to keep the juices in the steak by salting right before we cook," Balistreri says.

If you do it far enough in advance the moisture will come to the surface and be reabsorbed. I personally do it just before it goes on. In fact, I will be doing it in a little while.

Salt and pepper while I’m getting the grill or cast iron hot. If it only takes 5 minutes, that’s how long the S&P is on there. I don’t like to overthink something as simple as a piece of beef.

Is adding salt before and pepper after really that mentally challenging for you where you need to refer to it as overthinking? Ffs man

I season my steak then straight to the grill or cast iron pot. Either way I get a great sear. It’s not rocket science. Plus I sure don’t let them get cold while ‘resting’ any cut of meat.

Not sure what you mean but they need to sit at least 10 mins depending on the cut for the juices to reabsorb into the muscle.

Basic science seems hard enough for you.

Orrrr, how about eating it right then and there. Why let your food get cold?

You might cook a perfectly fine steak. I don't know. But don't come on here acting like people are nuts for doing it a different way than you do.

Not nuts. Dumb. Get a steak. Season it. Cook it. Eat it. It’s that simple
