Watching it at 2am on an empty stomach really isn't the best idea! I'm coming over!

That open fire sear looked really fun to do!
I usually do 6 to 36 hour dry brine myself, glad you made this video to help inform others Al!

I actually have a couple of strips I bought yesterday, just put them in the fridge when I got home (distracted). I'll salt one now so I can cook it in about three hours.
Thanks for the inspiration.

I brined around 4-5 hrs prior to cooking these last couple days. I'm no expert but I was very happy with the steaks. Thanx for these videos. I love the side by side style. There's clearly alot of work going into these videos. Good channel.

Great video! Instant sub. Love how you bring the neighbors over for a taste test. Sweet little family!

I cooked steak once a few years ago and thought nah id leave it to the steakhouses as it wasnt that good. A few months ago i bought two steaks and decided to cook/prep them recently. I looked up different methods and learnt about dry brining, pan searing, basting and temps to cook to. The first one i brined for about an hour and it was genuinely the best steak ive ever had at that point. That was until the next day when i had the 24 hour brined steak. That first bite felt like i was dipped in heaven. Didn't take much research to learn, ive been to many steakhouses but i dont think ill ever go back especially when the steaks i got from the butchers were less than 20% the cost of a lowend steakhouse and probably 1000% the flavour. Also made a nice mushroom sauce that tied things really nicely with the mash i had.

What a cool idea! You must have some happy neighbors 🍻

Glad to hear 1 day was great and 1 hour was better than nothing. I not great a planning dinner a week out, but tomorrow I can do.

[yourpro]

Excellent video man! It was well put together and to the point. My only criticism is I wish you would have done a blind taste test where you did not tell them the difference beforehand. I appreciate you taking the time to make this

[armandsutherland]

Your by far one of the best steak channels I've seen on YouTube thanks for all your work so I at home don't ruin 100.00 dollar steak at home lol.

[Pops]

I usually try to rub around 6 hours before the cook. Never tried a 24 hour or longer dry brine. I’ll have to give it a try!

[beepbop]

Would be nice to compare 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, 8hr times -- 24hr seems like pushing the maximum. Are you still doing 24hr nowadays, or have your thoughts changed?

[klutchpotato]

I know I am splitting hairs but I have heard a ton of good things about half a day. 12 hour dry brine was pretty good when I tried.

[brucefrazure]

BTW...you can "brine" with ANY dry seasoning so keep the taste good without rinsing. Try out 50% pepper, 25%salt, & 25% Lawrys seasoned salt. That way no rinsing is involved because of 50% less salt brining. Just a heads up 👍🥩🍻

[AlexT-synm]

Hi EMV/Al, love your content! Just a clarification, isn't all that dryness from the fridge's circulating air? I dry-brine all the time but keep my meat either covered or in a zip lock and it works just fine. It seems to me that the gradual changes in your experiment are from the air, not the salt aka not the dry-brine.
Cheers and keep on with your excellent channel!

[ryanturner]

Smaller cut I do 1-3 days. Thick cut ribeyes that I cut myself I do 3-5 days. It’s so good and I’m obsessed with this method. Been doing it for years and it gives the best crust and the best flavor.

[FrostyBud]

I love one day for all chicken, beef and pork.

[dangibson]

Nice Fly on number four whilst branding ;)

[alex]

I usually dry brine for an hour. Question is do I pat dry the steaks after to make them as dry as possible to get a crust?

[winston]

3:30 Strange that you ask that question in the first video I brought up after watching a biography of the Marquis de Sade...
Just turned out that way, the wonders of the recommendations algorithm...
