Steak recipe

I learned why steak prep is very important. I got this from here: http://www.steamykitchen.com/163-how-to-turn-cheap-choice-steaks-into-gucci-prime-steaks.html

Time: 1-2 hrs total (since you need to marinate in salt).
Quoted from the website:

"1. Buy a good sized Choice steak. I like mine 1.25 to 1.5 inches thick. Any cut of steak: Filet, Sirloin, Rib Eye, Porterhouse, T-Bone and NY Strip – they all work. You can do this with steaks less than 1″, just really watch your timing. The fattier (more marbled) the meat is, the faster the salt works its way through the meat.

2. Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of kosher/sea salt PER SIDE. For every inch thickness of steak, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

• Less than 1-inch steak: 30-45 minutes
• 1 inch thick steak: 1 hour
• 1.25 inch steak: 1 hour and 15 minutes

If you don’t have that much time — well then, add more salt, cut back the time it sits. It’s all related:

Thickness of meat : Amount of Salt : Time

3. Rinse all salt off on both sides, pat very dry with paper towels on both sides. Season with fresh ground pepper. Grill to your liking."
