Want the secret to the perfect, flavorful, and juicy steak? Try a simple dry brine. Dry brining is a method to brine your meat without any liquid that will result in the juiciest steak possible. It is the next level of steak cooking for tender, delicious steak every time. It takes longer than just seasoning and cooking steak, but the results are worth the wait.
You can dry brine any steak cut and cook with your desired method for a more tender steak with a great crust. Dry brining improves the tenderness of any steak, but for the best steak experience, start with an aged steak. All Omaha Steaks steaks are aged at least 28 days for maximum tenderness and flash frozen to capture peak flavor and tenderness.

Does it make the steak taste really salty?
What if I want to add black pepper and garlic how would I go about that?
you leave the salt on after brining and ready to season the meat?
You can use a onion marinade or a honey or pineapple rub to tenderize steaks as well, they have enzymes that are great at breaking down proteins in meat.
Dry brining can be 1.30 hours
Take the salt off after dry brining… then re season if you want salt and pepper. Why? Takes the moisture off the steaks and gives a better crust when pan frying
How long cook the steak for
Hey man, dry brining definitely makes the salt to penetrate and the crust is much better, but i got two steaks from the same cut, ate one now and the other i dry brined it for tomorrow, and the steak that i dry brines felt a lot more flavorful but felt really dry, like it didnt got any juice at all, and it was only for 4 hours, did i do something wrong?
Used coarse, fine, Kosher, sea and regular salt, always comes out like a saltlick in a pasture. Maybe leaving it for an hour or under would do better for taste.
do u re season it wiht pepper or salt
right before u cook it or not
I just did that to my tbone and it got way too salty even rinsing it off
Is that a filet? You don't need to make it any more tender
If you don’t cover in the fridge it’ll dry your steak out!
Pat it dry. Salt it heavily. Leave it uncovered in the fridge for 2-3 days.
It takes a good steak and turns it into a great steak.
Don’t worry about rinsing off the salt before you cook. When the steak is almost done, add any other seasonings you’d like, though it doesn’t require any.
Nice!
Is fine salt fine as well?
Only thing is that I'm on a low sodium diet. Kidney stones aren't worth it.
can you dry brine in the freezer or just the refrigerator?
Honesly I hate the phrase "locks in the juices/moisture" when it comes to cooking, especially when it comes to meat. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Last two times i did some steaks in my cast iron pan i dry brined them at least 24hrs. Came out excellent 💯
I had to watch it several times to pick up all the details, like "Bring it back to room tempurature".
There is no other quick explanation of how to dry brine than this vid
There seems to be a trade off between flavor and juiciness of the steak when I dry brine
I do a 3 day dry brine which is Hawaiian style of pork butts before smoking
I've been sealing in a ziploc bag and keeping it on the coldest shelf.
When I say it comes of the hot grill juicy and medium rare to medium…. 🤩 it's insanely good 🎉
Pecan wood is the best wood for a steak as well ❤
Edit: I season it 24-48 hours before i cook it as well. Small splash of worchestire, and on the other side a small splash of balsamic vinegar. Seasoning.
Seal it up, and it "dry" brines like a legend
The point of the salt is to draw OUT the water.. wash it off and pat completely dry to ensure a good sear.
Do you leave the salt on it when you fry it?
first
Does it matter if I cover the steak or not while it dry brines in the fridge?
