When to put dry rub on a steak:
There are two methods that work best:
40 minutes before cooking the meat: This
allows the salt to penetrate across the surface (through osmosis) and actually
helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in tenderer meat. During this
time, the liquid that appeared initially has time to reabsorb, making the meat
juic.
Overnight: You can apply a dry scrub one
day before and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. The surface may look dry
in the morning, but you will actually only lose about 5% of moisture which is
much less than what you would lose if you cooked the steaks right away, which
is up to 20%. Find out more about this.
