Seasoning steak with broiler salt

I’ve always wanted to season a steak by just applying kosher salt before putting it in the bbq grill.

A few months I tried using this technique (https://www.thespruceeats.com/seasoning-your-steak-keep-it-simple-995234) and using this broiler salt (https://i.stack.imgur.com/dUtdW.jpg ) on a thick ribeye steak (about 1.5”). Needless to say, it was so salty that I couldn’t eat it.

I want to do the same thing today, but with a thin tbone steak (about 0.5” thick).

My question: how do I season this steak with just the broiler salt in the picture?

Best Answer

Salt is just ....salt....no matter how it is labeled (assuming it is not a spice mix, with other ingredients). It might be more finely or coarsely ground, but....it's all the same. Just use less...a sprinkle on each side. You can always add more when you serve if you desire.

The first thing you need is kosher salt. Not super-fine table salt. Not the iodized stuff. We use kosher salt (Diamond Crystal in our test kitchen) for seasoning steaks, because its crystal size allows for prime absorption into the outer layer of the steak.
