Secrets to tenderize/season steak?

[Gunnyart]

To address the OP's question... I can't say that I've tried it but this was an interesting experiment.

From the folks at Popular Science...

"Salt does more than flavor a piece of meat; it also functions like a magnet for water. So when you salt a steak, it draws water to the surface of the meat, which in turn brings along proteins that help in developing a well-browned crust. Over time, the salt also works its way into meat, and where salt goes, water follows. The result? A well-salted steak doesn't just taste better; it also retains more moisture.

The simple key to all of this: give your salt time to do its thing. At least an hour, but preferably overnight, for maximum penetration and juiciness insurance. And go heavy with it; the meat can take it."

This. I try to salt my steaks the night before. It definitely helps retain moisture during cooking and you get a great crust. I add nothing else to it except fresh pepper after it's been taken off the heat.

This works great! Or if you don't have one use the edge of a plate and checker it.

The key is to cook a steak to a nice Medium.

This is pretty much perfect for me.

For a good quality steak, try marinating it in rock salt. Each side for 15 or 20 minutes. Then wipe it off and lightly add salt and pepper. Another TBHr taught me this a couple years ago and you'll be surprised how tender you steak will be. Make sure not to over cook any steak.

if you're buying NY striop, ribeye or filet and its not tender, you gotta step that meat grade up.

Now of that's not an option, a good way to tenderize if cover, and I mean COVER, the whole steak in salt. let it sit for 10-15 minutes, no longer than 15 minutes or steak will start to break apart. then thoroughly rinse it off to get all the salt off. then season with whatever you prefer and it will give you a way more tender steak. But my choice is always to go with a higher graded cut.. saves time!

Sous Vide works well too.

Marinading meat in soda just seems nasty...

You folks that don't cook your food all the way probably like brussel sprouts too!

What’s your sous vide method? We’ve used it several times but can’t quite get the results we expect. I’m thinking my searing/seasoning method is off
