Pro Tip: If the edges of the meat look like they’re starting to cook, it’s been marinating too long.
3. Salt Rub
A thick coating of salt, also known as a salt rub, on a cheap cut of meat is great for making the steaktender and flavorful. YouTube show Cooking with Jack decided to put that hack to the test by buying the least expensive cut he could find at his local grocery store and making his own salt rub.
Jack simply coats the entire top with coarse salt and lets it sit out on the counter for one hour per inch the meat is thick. So if it is one inch thick, it sits out for an hour.
After you wash the salt off, pat it dry and cook it like you normally would. Throw on your favorite seasoning, but maybe leave out the salt this time. Make sure to watch the video above to see how this money-saving hack turns out.
