How to Dry Brine Steak

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Brining Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
Dry brining steak is a great way to make sure your steak is super flavorful. Use this method on anything from ribeye to flank to filet cuts - in fact, this will work well on any beef cut! A good dry brine takes anywhere from 24-48 hours but you can short cut it if you need to.

Ingredients
 

  • Paper towels or clean dish towel
  • Steak of choice
  • Kosher salt or seasoned salt

Equipment

  • Plate
  • Refrigerator

Instructions
 

  • Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel.
  • Season the steak well with kosher salt or seasoned salt. The steak should be completely coated.
  • Place on a plate and in the fridge, uncovered. Let sit in the fridge for 3-48 hours.
  • Cook the steak using your favorite cooking method. I recommend sous vide.

Notes

Salt granules should be bigger than table salt. I recommend kosher salt.
