Use a raised wire rack if you wanna do it right

I didn't have a wire rack, so I put it on two old forks on a plate, I think it worked relatively well

I tell all my customers this if they want a juicier steak. 💯

I sear, then slow cook over hickory to medium, no salt, and they've always been juicy and tender.

The hardest part. I usually dont put enuff on and have to bring the salt shaker to the dinner table while I'm eating

It's also good to dry-age them in the fridge, on a wire rack, at the bottom shelf (to prevent exposed meat from affecting your other food). Different people have different times, but I would say the best is 8 - 12 hours for a reverse-seared rare steak. For medium rare, I would let it sit in the fridge for 18 hours before reverse searing.

Salt and oil always...eliminates the grey band very well and increases flavor as fats do

Makes perfect sense thank you!!

It’s science sir. As long as a salty surface remains, a hypertonic solution will continue to draw the juice out of the steak because it is hypotonic to the salt. Hypotonic always transfers to hypertonic. It’s silly to do what you just said.

Let meat out a couple hours before. Salt about an hour before cooking. The longer you let salt sit the more of a ham texture meat becomes. To me it’s not pleasant when it’s too long.

If the moisture is there to begin with why take it out just to put it back in?

The salt does not get absorbed. Salt pulls moisture out of the steak, it doesn’t go into the steak. Dry it, salt it, cook it. Your steak will remain juicy this way. Hint: Add more salt than you think it needs.

*He has no idea what he’s talking about* 😂

I dont know whoever told you to put that much salt on beef, but they told you WRONG! You put your untreated room temperature steaks in a warming oven at 150 deg for about a half hour. This opens the fibers of the beef. Then you LIGHTLY SALT, pepper, and light steak spice on the meat. Let stand for 15 min while the fibers draw the spices in as it cools. BBQ over medium heat. Never salt your beef like that. And, yes, i know because I'm a butcher.
