Accidentally dry brined for 24 hours. Best crust ever.

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder on a cast iron pan. Patted dry beforehand and flipped every 2 mins.

    Man this steak is beautiful. Flipped every 2 minutes how many times? And what level of heat? Would love to recreate this

    Fair warning i don’t recommend dry brining for any longer than that, you risk sending the texture into jerky territory

    Looks and probably tastes gorgeous as well.

    So you patted everything dry before putting it in the pan, do you season again or is that it? Asking cause I’m still a noob.

    I wish my steak accidents turned out this good.

    I prefer dry brine for 24 hrs. Definitely have over done it and the texture isn’t pleasant but it’s still delicious. Fish sauce works well

    Tell us about the fries. Did you buy them or did you fry them? They look like Kenji Lopez’s fries.

    I thought we all dry brined for 24 hours lol that’s how I do it. 😎

    I thought I liked 24 hour but I had it the other night and got closer to jerky texture than I liked and the flavor was off. I think salting in the morning might be better for me

    It does look good. I accidentally dry brined one last week for like 3 days. My crust was GREAT but I just didn’t like the way this changed the flavor of my steak.

    How do you accidentally dry brine for 24h ? I’m counting the seconds if I have a steak in the fridge
