Dry brining improves the tenderness of any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/buy\/Steaks?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">steak,<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why dry brine a steak?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Seasons <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dry brining seasons your steak before cooking. The process of dry brining will slowly bring out the natural flavors of the beef as the salt breaks down the muscles in the meat.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Great steak crust<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The natural process of dry brining dries out the surface of the steak as the moisture is locked into the steak. A drier steak surface will result in a great crust and a juicy, tender center.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tenderizes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The salt naturally permeates the beef and breaks down the muscle proteins, tenderizing the steak cut in the process. Moisture is locked into the steak, resulting in a juicy, tender steak.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to dry brine a steak<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. Thaw and pat dry steaks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start with a completely thawed steak. You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/whats-the-best-way-to-thaw-steaks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">cold-water thawing method<\/a> for a quicker thaw. Once thawed, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Season liberally with coarse salt and pepper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-season-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Season a steak<\/a> liberally on both sides with coarse salt and pepper. The salt crystals need to be larger than table salt. We recommend kosher or sea salt for dry brining. If desired, you can also use a rub, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Private-Reserve-Rub-1-58-oz-03026?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Omaha Steaks Private Reserve rub<\/a>, for added flavors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20M0013-Father-Day-Grilling.00_00_35_49.Still005.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Dry Brine a Steak and Why You Should&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Refrigerate 1 hour up to 2 days<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once seasoned, you\u2019ll want to place your steak in the refrigerator uncovered on a baking rack for at least one hour and up to two days to allow the salt to work its magic. A baking rack or similar is necessary to allow airflow on both sides of the steak.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Climatize before cooking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before cooking, bring your steaks to room temperature. There is no exact science to this, however your steaks will raise in temperature about 2-3 degrees in 30 minutes. You do not need to add extra seasoning when dry brining your steak. It is seasoned and ready to cook. Once climatized, cook your steak to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/steak-cooking-chart\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">proper temp<\/a> using your desired method.
