What about a backyard bbq is black?

God, I had this roommate for a while. During COVID quarantine some of our neighbors invited him to attend their bbq down the street. Want until then I learned he was racist as shit, just didn’t know it. Not that he didn’t like black people, but they were “different” to him. I could tell by the way he told that story for the next 3 months til he moved out. What a loser

You should try add the salt before you leave it for a day or two. What happens when you add salt is it draws out moisture and then the salt brine gets drawn back in. If you salt only a few hours before it usually draws out the juices and doesn't have time to reabsorb. If your leaving it till this time you'd be better off salting just a few minutes before you sear it.

Cut doesn’t really matter as long as it’s at least 1” thick.

I dry off my steak and leave it in my fridge uncovered for a day or two. Then I salt and pepper it generously and let it sit out for a couple hours to get to room them.

I have a propane deep-fry setup that I put a cast iron on pan over. I get the setup screaming hot and seat for about a minute or so on each side. Then I let it rest in the oven set to 180* for about 15-20 mins before I eat.
