The Science behind Salt Brining

Ever wondered why restaurant quality meat tastes juicier, more tender and packed with flavour?

The secret often starts long before cooking.

Your BBQ is missing this..

Most people think great smoky flavour needs a smoker. 

It doesn’t.

Smoked salt adds that deep, woodfire taste to steaks, marinades and even veggies in seconds. Used right, it completely transforms your cooking.

The problem? Most people use it wrong and never get the full effect. Want to know how to use it properly and make your food taste next level? 

🥩  The Reverse Sear Steak

I'll never cook steak the other way again. This method is PERFECT every time 🥩🔥

Start in the oven, finish in the pan. You get an edge-to-edge perfect cook with a crust that makes noise.

💡 Why This Works

The reverse sear gives you total control. By cooking low-and-slow in the oven first, you hit your exact target temp throughout. Then a screaming-hot sear creates that steakhouse crust in under 90 seconds per side.

🛒 What You'll Need

1 thick-cut ribeye or NY strip (1.5-2 inches)

Salt & coarse black pepper (season 1hr ahead)

2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado or grapeseed)

3 tbsp butter

4 garlic cloves, smashed

Fresh rosemary sprigs

👨‍🍳 How To Do It

Season steak generously with salt & pepper 1 hour before cooking (or overnight uncovered in fridge).

Place on a wire rack over a sheet pan. Bake at 250F until internal temp reads 125F (~45-60 min).

Remove and pat bone dry with paper towels. Rest 10 minutes.

Heat cast iron until SMOKING. Add oil.

Sear steak 60-90 seconds per side. Add butter, garlic, rosemary and baste continuously.
