"Avoiding the Salting Mistake for Perfect Steak Crust"

Achieving a perfect crust on a steak involves understanding the role of salt and timing. Salting the steak draws out moisture, but waiting at least 40 minutes before cooking allows the brine to reabsorb, ensuring a juicy end product. Additionally, using a heavy hand with salt, cooking at a high temperature, and practicing with affordable cuts are essential for achieving a satisfying crust on a steak.
