A method for improving the texture and tenderness of a cheaper low-grade steak by drying it in the refrigerator for three days with salt. This process enhances the steak's moisture retention and helps form a perfect crust when grilled.
1: Lay your filet mignon on a cooling rack above a tray of salt or kosher salt.
2: Clear an area in the refrigerator and ensure all nearby food is sealed.
3: Place baking soda on the shelf under your steaks to absorb odors.
4: Allow your steak to set for 36 hours, then flip and set for another 36 hours for a total of 3 days.
5: Use garlic butter and smother your steaks before cooking.
6: Cook on high grilling mode in your Ninja Kitchen outdoor grill for 4 minutes on each side, adjusting time for steak thickness.
7: Serve with your favorite sides.
