We hate to break it to you, but you may not be cooking your steak correctly.
Have you ever wondered how to prepare a steak so that you maximize its natural flavor?
Maybe you’re that person that dumps a pile of seasonings or steak rub on the meat and
call it a day, but you may be missing one pivotal step that’s so simple: salting your steak.
With the help of two acclaimed chefs, we concluded that salt is the secret ingredient that
helps pulls all of a steak’s distinctive flavors out so you have an irresistible dish every single time.
We feel that the simple step of salting your steak the right way can make a world of difference to
the final result. Once you learn how to salt a steak for maximum flavor, you’ll ditch those seasoning
bottles STAT.
“Salt enhances flavors in all foods,” says Vincent Olivieri, director of culinary development and
chef de cuisine at Fairway Market Café and Steakhouse.
But how, specifically, does that apply to a hunk of steak?
“Salt releases moisture in the muscle [of the meat] and releases the natural flavors of steak,”
says Tender Greens Chef and Vice President of Stores, Pete Balistreri.
Balistreri says to always salt your steak right before cooking.
“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. Olivieri concurs.
“It’s always good to salt a steak prior to cooking to dry the outside,” says Olivieri. “A dry steak
will give you a crispy sear.”
“Absolutely! The thicker the cut, the more salt needed,” Balistreri says. “If you are cooking a
thick rib eye or New York steak, you’ll need a little more salt than if you are cooking a thin
skirt steak. When salting, it’s important to salt well above the steak and ‘make the salt rain.’
This allows for even coverage and avoids concentrated spots of salt.”
Olivieri says that when it comes to larger roasts, like prime rib, you should go heavy on the
salt because the fat will absorb most of it and give you that crispy crust that everyone loves to eat.
Who doesn’t want that?
“If the Kobe Beef or Wagyu is a standard grilling steak, I would recommend slightly less on the salt,
as the fat will cause that beef to be very delicate,” says Balistreri. “For the standard certified
grass-fed steak, it’s more about the thickness of the steak than the type.”
And if you’re using a tougher cut of meat, you might need to use a lighter touch.
“When dealing with a tougher cut, like something that requires a marinade, go lighter on the salt
and heavier on an acid. Whether it be lemon juice, vinegar, or wine, leave the salt light until the end,
and season to your liking,” says Olivieri.
“I usually give a light sprinkling, making sure to cover all the meat. I’d say the most important
aspect of salt application is the quality of your salt. At the Steakhouse, we use imported flaky
French sea salt, Maldon Large crystals [of sea salt] are strictly used for finishing, adding that flavor
and a crunchy texture,” says Olivieri
.
“Just as important as seasoning the steaks right before you cook them; a great finishing sea
salt larger than the kosher salt you use prior to grilling will make a world of difference to the
finished experience. These finishing salts go a long way and should be used lightly. There are
many types of finishing salts: smokey, spicy, sweet, and standard,” says Balistreri. This is an
easy way to switch up the taste of steak if you’re into trying new flavors.
Both chefs provided a great deal of information, so let’s take a step back and review the key points.
You should salt your steak right before you throw it on the grill, as this will allow the juices to stay
intact for optimal flavor. Thicker cuts of steak will typically need more salt than thinner cuts.
The exception? A thicker steak that requires an already salt-filled marinade…you’ll want to cut back
the salt and swap in an acidic liquid such as lemon juice or wine. There you have it folks, your next
steak just got 20 percent tastier, all thanks to the humble salt. Now, let’s fire up the grill!
Note: I have tried this and it works!

Here's a great reminder that your
Attitudes and actions set an example for many…
Little Eyes upon You...
There are little eyes upon you
And they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
And a little boy who's dreaming
Of the day he'll be like you.
You're the little fellow's idol,
You’re the wisest of the wise.
In his little mind about you
No suspicions ever rise.
He believes in you devoutly,
Holds all you say and do;
He will say and do, in your way
When he's grown up just like you.
There's a wide-eyed little fellow
Who believes you're always right;
And his eyes are always opened,
And he watches day and night.
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do;
For the little boy whose waiting
To grow up to be just like you.
