Why I Season My Cutting Board, NOT My Steak

Summary by Krater

The creator demonstrates a cooking technique called 'dressing the board' where seasonings, oil, butter, and herbs are prepared on a cutting board while a steak cooks in a pan, then the cooked and sliced steak is tossed in those juices. The video concludes with advice on using coarse finishing salt.

• Dressing the cutting board
• Finishing salt application
• Resting meat

Ingredients

• 1 steak
• oil
• rosemary
• 1 clove garlic
• lemon
• black pepper
• salt
• few slivers butter

What it concludes

• Salting meat immediately before cooking to enhance browning is a myth.
• Salting meat in advance should be done at least 40 minutes prior.
• Cooking pepper removes a lot of its pungency, so finishing with raw pepper is preferred.
• Concentrated coarse finishing salt provides a more interesting taste than low-level uniform saltiness.
