HOW TO TENDERIZE STEAK WITH SALT RECIPES

Steps:

• To properly tenderize a steak, lay the steak out on a plate and cover each side with approximately 1 teaspoon of kosher/sea salt before cooking. Use your fingers to gently work the salt granules into the surface, breaking down the fibers of the meat. (For even more flavor, add crushed garlic to the salt.)
• Let the steak sit with this covering of salt for 45 minutes to an hour. Longer for thicker cuts.
• After the waiting period, rinse the salt off your steaks under cool running water.
• Use some paper towels to pat your steaks until they are good and dry, so you can get the delicious, crispy sear you want. If you don’t pat them dry, you’re basically steaming the meat, and steamed meat is bland and less flavorful.
• Season as desired, then grill until desired doneness. Serve and sit back and enjoy the happy faces around the dinner table. :-)

Steps:

• In a large baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar and brown sugar.  Place the steak in the baking dish and turn a few times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400˚ to 450˚). Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry.  Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.  Place the steak directly over the flame and cook until a thermometer reads 135˚ in the thickest part (for medium rare), 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve immediately.
