Cooking Preparation

American French

🧂 Ingredients

1 Pat the steak down on all sides with paper towels.
2 Place the steak on a rack over a sheet tray and generously season both sides
with coarse salt or your favorite seasoning or rub. You'll use about 1/2 to 3/4
teaspoons per side.
3 Put the steak on the rack in the refrigerator uncovered for 4 to 24 hours.
During this time, the salt penetrates the steak, making every bite delicious. In
addition, it will help dry out the outer surface for optimal searing.
4 Remove the steak from the fridge, season it with freshly cracked black pepper on
both sides, and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to help remove the
chill.
5 Cook the steak using your favorite desired cooking process.
