Shit the Mongolian keto diet really works.

Either is ok depending how you cook it. I prefer salting first

>>18583346
In my experience salting it before gives a nicer and tastier crust.

>>18583346
Neither. Instead you should be salting your cutting board.

>>18583346
both

Just imagine their women

i salt before, on steak and pork chops at least
i used to have this honeyed aleppo pepper powder i got at TJ maxx that would caramelize and give a great crust to steak

Salt steak 2h before and wrap it in paper towel.

Salt the meat when you take it out of the fridge, and let it sit as it comes up to room temperature. Then pat it dry with paper towels. This will remove most of the salt, but will allow the meat to form a better sear as it cooks. Then taste a little piece of it and re-add salt as needed.

I do a general presalt before and adjusting to taste after its done.

For steak, salt overnight in the fridge before. Chicken, salt right before cooking. Ground meat, any soups/stews, or dishes that have salty ingredients, salt after cooking.

not everyone has all day to play with 10 different meats on a smoker with an indoor hibachi grill to play with steak like a wagyu chef.

that's why you just salt the steak 2h before cooking and wrap in paper towel. simple, exquisite, delightful

You cant rush things in the kitchen. Some things take time and there is nothing you can do about that.

>chicken before cooking instead of overnight
why?

>>18583346
salt before buddy, and pepper, always salt and pepper everything it makes it taste better

If you cook pepper really hot, it can burn and leave a bitter taste and destroy all the aromatics. Put on fresh ground after cooking for extra punch.
