Well, I did this with a ribeye with plain sea salt and it was a little salty. So I thought I would try this with a leaner and tougher cut. I had some what they call here Petite sirloins in the freezer. Since TQ is 99% salt and the rest nitrates and nitrities I thought I woud try it, always open for experiments.

I forgot to get a before picture, oh well.




I rubbed it with TQ and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Rinsed it off real good. Added some Youshidas

and Garlic and lemon pepper.



Seared for about 4 minutes and finally added some EVOO to get a sear because of a lack of fat. Fliped and another 4 minutes. Almost burned my chest, lol. You can see in one minute the juice pouring out.



This is Carol's with the steak.



Before finishing she wanted me to nuke for a bit. Now look at the juice, nothing added, man oh man. Over all it was good, could have been a bit more tender, but for 1.99 and still get your steak fix why not?




I'll be doing this one the same way for me later, but I will let it sit for longer to see if it actually gets more tender.

Actually I just rubbed it and put in the fridge. We'll see.

Thanks for watching.
 
Ron, I use that salt method everytime we do steaks. Man, is that a slick trick. I usually have a marinade of some sort and when the salt turns from white to clear, I wipe as much off as I can, then a real quick rinse under the faucet then into the marinade. Man oh man, does this work magic on the less than tender cuts. Tired it on ribeyes, but I dont think it works as well on cuts like that.
 
Slow down Ron, I'm trying to keep up but you keep moving ahead. Gotta try it sometime soon. Haven't had a steak for a long time.

Congrats Ron, look like you're on to something good. It sure looks juicy from here.
 
That looks really good!So what you did was just rub a little sea salt on it and let it sit for awhile?And that helped with the tenderness?
 
Ok Ron with my last smoke and taking your advice with the Tender Quick or my chuck roast and it was really good you have me wanting to go grab a couple of steaks out of the freezer. Then it will be on with the tender Quick and I'll let you know. Man am I ever gonna owe you first the yoshida now the tender quick whats nexts. I guess only time will tell. Great job ron that steak is mighty juicy and just the way we like them PINK.
