I wonder what ATOTers are drooling more at, the steak or the Asian woman's pic on top?

Yeah, that all works, but it never turns out better than just buying good meat. IMO, higher quality meat is always worth it.

My wife used to do a pork roast covered in mustard and rolled in rock salt...that was hella good too...

The rock salt formed a hard crust that held the moisture in, and the mustard just added a mix of flavors to the meat as it cooked.

This sounds like a good idea. Even if it didn't, I know better than to argue with Alton Brown!

?? wasn't the whole point of this to make a crappy piece of meat taste like a ribeye?

Nope...it was to make a rib-eye as tender as a filet mignon while retaining the deliciousness of the ribeye:

"For the past 4 months, we have been experimenting with how to get full, juicy, beefy flavor of a ribeye with butter-knife tenderness of a filet mignon without paying up-the-butt for Prime cuts."

Hmm.. No.

The way its worded, they are describing two characteristics of a single piece of meat that is not a prime cut..?

Guys, she's using the wrong kind of salt. You need to use the Sea Salt (the rocky big chunks of salt). Salt it an hour before you grill. As you grill, squeeze lime juice on the steak for flavor, and to help dissolve the salt nicely into the steak. Serve medium rare. Best steak of your life.

This is how the brazilians do it. And let me tell you, they do it right.

Per article - "Use kosher or sea salt, not iodized table salt?or else your meat will taste like?well?iodine." :p

Man, if you don't want to bite into a nice big fat steak after reading that then ... well, it just wouldn't be right.

i concur
Massively salt your steaks 1 hour before grilling.

Notice that I didn?t say, "sprinkle liberally" or even "season generously." I?m talking about taking a small handful of kosher salt and literally coating your meat until you can?t see red.

It should resemble a salt lick.
