There is a science to salting beef, I salt (plus pepper) and fridge my steaks 12 to 24 hours before grilling. During this time, the salt changes the structure of the proteins which allows the steak to hold on to more moisture during the cook.

Ooh, I usually pepper afterwards. I read/heard somewhere that since pepper is a dry berry you can burn it? I don't know but that stuck in my head, lol.

@@bucky6391Yea, some people claim that the coarser the grind, the more likely it is to burn, which can result in a charred flavor depending on how you cook the steak. IMO, it works both ways for me, before or after the cook when it comes to pepper.

Ok I'm arguing with my lodger who happens to be a 60 yr old classically trained french chef. He tells me you should never salt meat before you cook it as it drys it out. I'm arguing that it helps dry out the surface to create a butter crust. So where did your info come from?

Another video from Joey Brisket 🙌going to try this experiment at home!

I salt before, pepper after. I agreed with your mention of the pre salted steak tasting saltier, as I've noticed the same thing.

Great vid, just tried steak salted for an hour with celtic grey salt, best taste yet. Going to try this next time 👍

I heard rumour that salting your steak approximately 51.9 years beforehand is the best way to go. A nice 11# beef jerky hits the spot every time! 🤤

I always salt one hour before cooking. This is simplified because I grill potatoes and onions for 45 min. So, salt steak, prep veg (15 min), grill 45 min, then steaks on for about 3 min a side ... pull everything off. I would say if you're salting just before grilling, you'd need to use less salt since the salt isn't going to infuse into the meat. So, you're probably getting too much "surface salt" on your tongue. Since you mentioned umami, you should try "salting" a steak with just MSG 1 hour and 1 day before grilling. It might change your life.

I like to salt mine after I grill my steak. But I’m always putting something else on my steak!! lol I can’t remember ever grilling a stake with nothing but salt. But I will say this!! That’s about too change!! ASAP!!! Thank you!!

I usually do a dry rub at least an hour before cooking but like you said we don't always plan what we want to cook until it's time to eat lol... then I will salt during cooking and then a little after as well 😊😊 maybe that's why I have high blood pressure 😆 🤣 😂 thanks for sharing your comparison 😀 have a great weekend 😀 👍 ❤Annie

I have always salted mine beforehand, but I’m going to try afterwards next time. Excellent video, Joey Pageviews!!

Joey Pageviews is here for you! Thx for the comment and please share your feedback here with our audience after trying it for yourself 🙌

Does this apply to chicken and pork?

Do both.! Before and after

It’s either or for me, but, the thickness and quality of the steak determines when I salt it… thin steaks, salt after for example.

What brand of pallet cleanser are you using in this video?

Agree - or at least 2 hours ahead of cooking......

Please quote centigrade as well

Do it again with half a tablespoon on both

Meat simply isn't something that can be cooked on a whim. I buy when on sale so it's frozen and planning is necessary. This neither method here is acceptable because I would pull in the morning and at night dry, salt, and put it on a rack in the fridge for the next day.

I use fine table salt for an even coat a couple of hours before cooking and then a bit more salt after cooking just to make sure.

Salting just before cooking will affect the sear you get on the steak. Never salt just before cooking.

uh oh, I better cook the steaks, it's been 2 days with salt. I'm going to like my own comment so i can let you know, going to take them out of the fridge, rinse or no rinse? I have two. Pray. I took one out, I'll cut it in half, rinse half. (I have other food I have to cook, so I am not throwing food away, it's so hard to cook for just one)
