I bought these beef cheeks yesterday dry brined them last night and woke up today and they left the paper towel soaked. This has never happened to me. I also usually go with salt and pepper but this time I used a brisket rub my buddy made.

Dry brining draws the moisture out. I’d say this is expected but can’t assume why it hasn’t happened with your salt and pepper in the past. I keep a tray under my wire rack when I dry brine overnight and there is liquid in it the next day.
Meat sweating from the salt drawing out the water
Those cooling racks usually fit nicely into a baking sheet. Just feel like that’s a better option than directly on to your fridge shelves.
This is pretty par for the course
My cheeks are wet just thinking about how they are gonna taste.
Try using some powder before you go jogging.
I’m jealous you were able to find whole cheeks!!
This happens to me while dry brining. My assumption is the salt is replacing the water in the meat.
Crying about how great those are gonna taste?
I would destroy those cheeks
Phrasing!! Are we not doing phrasing???!?
I dunno, ask your boyfriend 😉
Yeah baby, those cheeks are SO fucking soaked.
My bad…
LOL not helpful but I thought this reference to drool forming from such deliciousness. Based on the comments I was absolutely wrong.
